Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
flyjeffersonairplane This film is a forgotten classic that is better than most of the movies made today. The story involves Rob Lowe as a guy called for jury duty and he finds that the defendant accused of attempted murder is his first love - Colleen Camp - from first grade. The story itself is nothing exceptional, but the writing is excellent and highly original. Interestingly, this film also demonstrates the comedic acting ability of Rob Lowe - which is very good; by extension, Rob Lowe is a very good actor generally, as comedic acting is the most difficult to master. This film has excellent acting throughout, and the story and some of the settings keep you attracted to the movie from beginning to end, unlike many of the insipid movies of today that rely almost solely on stories revolving around immorality and obnoxious acting (Will Ferrell, for example). Colleen Camp, Rob Lowe, and Kim Myers are great in this movie and their acting styles keep you glued to the story. Oh, and yes, this one is a must-see for Colleen Camp fans.
moonspinner55 Director Peter Bogdanovich seemed to have it all at one point early in his career, but I can't imagine a worse string of pictures than "At Long Last Love", "Nickelodeon", "Daisy Miller" and "Texasville", not to mention this one, a dud meant for theaters but relegated to dusty bins at the video store. Rob Lowe, outfitted to look like either Cary Grant or perhaps egomaniac Bogdanovich, stumbles around as a juror smitten with murder-suspect Colleen Camp. Camp, as proved in "They All Laughed" (a Bogdanovich bright spot), has the knack for screwball antics, but her character here is too brash and she fails to click with Lowe, whose bumbling is forced--to say the least. The convoluted plot hangs together by a thread, not helped by a bunch of "lovable" dopes in the supporting cast (including future Mrs. Bogdanovich, L.B. Straten). Cheeky, yes. Successful, no. *1/2 from ****
Sam-285 This is a good movie with plenty of comedy and action. Yes Colleen Camp is fun and funny and so is Rob Lowe. The Canuck is another entertaining gem. There are a few illogical twists toward the end but otherwise it is a wonderful movie. Anyone that loves Colleen Camp will love the movie.
Jodie-4 This one is a hilarious diamond in the rough. The acting and plot aren't that impressive, but the lines just keep on coming. This catches a lot of flack because it seems at first glance like, well, a bad movie, but it's so kooky that you can't help but be amused. The spastic lightening quick dialog and quirky characters keep it going... I was especially fond of Sharon, the Canuck on Shrooms eh? However, the one that really stole the show was Richard's little brother Andrew (Ira Heiden), his high pitched whining was somehow endearing. The whole movie rocked.
