COMMUNITY REVIEWS

A period piece. submitted by lisa on July 29, 2019, 3:56pm I think Albert Brooks will age well. The Wm Hurt tip to make your suit look better on TV is GOLD. I think of it often when someone on TV has frumpy shoulders.

Aged well submitted by brooksza on August 15, 2022, 11:38am Good news-based romantic comedy. Some frustrating DC geography errors, but good to see DC in the 80s. Timeless themes.

I enjoyed the leads and really loved the Nicholson role, wish we only saw him as a face on the TV within the movie.
