Summary: A Timeless Classic
Review: Maybe it's the fact that I used to watch cable television nearly every waking moment in the early 80's, but this is one of those classic movies I can never get enough of!Ernie Souchak (John Belushi) is a Chicago reporter on assignment in the Rocky Mountains whose subject is environmentalist/bald eagle protector, Nell Porter (Blair Brown). Overweight and out of shape, he tumbles and stumbles through hikes and climbs with his agile counterpart learning about the 'other world' that exists outside the hussle and bustle of city-life. Initially turned off by the brazen Souchak, Porter slowly finds him midly attractive but always keeping her distance. Without giving the entire story away, they wind up crossing paths again, this time in Souchak's town of Chicago. And in a fresh take, the movie doesn't end in typical Hollywood fashion. Afficionados of romantic comedies will absolutely love this film. I, for one, developed a huge adolescent crush on the naturally beautiful and charming, Blair Brown. There are definitely some tear-jerker scenes and I'm not afraid to admit they get me everytime. Probably the fact that for a change, you saw John Belushi portraying an everyday charming guy everyone can relate to. Even the still photos of John and Blair together on set, smiling and throwing snowballs at each other on the closing credits is enough to make a tear well up, knowing this was one of Belushi's final movies. Highly, highly recommended!!

Review: This film is very old....but that's what makes it great. It's interesting to see the old computer equipment the newspaper used, and the old Amtrak trains throughout the finale. I also like it because John Belushi was a comedian attempting to make that cross-over to drama (of course this isn't a stone cold drama like "Out of Africa" for instance). Many comedians have failed in this...like Chevy Chase in "Foul Play" and John Candy in "Only the Lonely" and Richard Pryor in "Which Way is Up?". I think Belushi pulled it off beautifully. It's also the type of movie that leaves you with your heart exposed...it leaves you with a sense of longing deep in your soul....as Belushi rides off in the final scene you can't help but think of how the story goes on from there. You can't help but think that you want to be there, you want to feel like they feel as they proceed into the unknown area of post-credithood.

Summary: Great flick
Review: This is one of my timeless favorites. Perhaps it's because I used to live in Chicago and yearned to move to the Rockies. This is classic John Belushi. I don't know what it is about Blair Brown that makes her look so great in flannel. This is probably one of her best movies. Too bad it's not out on DVD.

Summary: a great romantic comedy
Review: what's all this about no great ending? if you've ever had a situation where two people love each other but HAD to go seperate ways, to live different lives, this is the film for you. along with "a touch of class" and "same time next year" this is in my triumverate of romantic films. perfectly, if somewhat surprisingly, cast, especially john, whose weight goes up and down in the film (suspension of disbelief, please), the movie is fun, funny, and sweet. it works, and that's my highest praise.
