Sweet Hearts Dance

Summary: Endearing and amusing, but Sarandon is miscast.
Review: Don Johnson and Jeff Daniels are engaging as old high school buddies, and the movie is, on the whole, very endearing, but I find Sarandon as Johnson's wife a strange bit of miscasting. Although she is a good actress, she really did not fit the part. Elizabeth Perkins was amusing, but too restrained. All in all, an enjoyable movie.

Summary: $1.50 is about what it's worth!
Review: Don Johnson and Jeff Daniels are excellent in this film about relationships. Although after a while, when Wiley (DJ's character) tries to patch things up with his wife (Susan Sarandon) she is awfully bitchy. We all go through various stages in our relationships and some of us grow up while some of us grow apart. This depicts how one couple starts to grow apart, but are finally able to grow back together. Not too many people can come back from the brink like that. This also depicts the confusion created for the kids when the parents are at odds. Jeff and DJ are great as life long friends who depend on each other a lot. They are each other's rocks. It is good to have those people outside of a marriage to help you through anything. Jeff Daniels mother in the movie makes a good point when she tells Sandy (Sarandon) that her husband was a difficult man to live with and just because they were together a long time doesn't always mean it is easy, it takes work and sacrifice. Although it doesn't seem headed that way, there is a happy ending.

Review: Don Johnson is biting mad at his wife, but for no apparent reason. Elizabeth Perkins seems to be in love with Jeff Daniels, but won't marry him, again for no understandable reason. And Susan Sarandon wears these horrible, really large frame glasses. Yikes! These are good actors, but they are lost in an incoherent script.

Summary: Sometimes A Movie Comes Along That Surprises You!
Review: Isn't it funny how sometimes a film can mirror your life. I came across this movie on the Encore channel this weekend and tuned in because of the title. I stayed with it because Don Johnson looked so great, at his peak I would say. I finished it because of the story, touching, telling and true to life.

Summary: True To Life
Review: Only recently got to see this movie - was drawn by the cast of stars, and really enjoyed the movie overall. Painted a very true to life portrayal of a couple that everyone envied, who couldn't keep their hands off eachother when they dated in high school and how after time and kids, the spark in their marriage is threatened. Jeff Daniels is always fun, and Susan Sarandon is one of my favorite actresses. This is good movie.

Summary: Finally: a great film as it was meant to be seen
Review: Wiley and Sandra Boon (Johnson and Sarandon) were high school sweet hearts, the ones who were admired and loved by everyone, the perfect couple. Some years and three children after, Wiley realizes how bored and sad he is because of what his life has become: boring and sad. At least that's what he thinks. He decides to leave the house to find himself, we could say that what he finds out is that that life was the one that he longed for, but that's simplistic as hell. So, while he is out there thinking how it was that he fell out of love, his best buddy Sam (Jeff Daniels) has finally found the one girl he's looked for all his life -or is she?. This 1988 film starred Don Johnson in the best work of his career (so far) and Susan Sarandon in some kind of post-Springsteen characters story (theirs was the idyllic marriage, they were the king and queen of high school) and they are now trapped in the routine of marriage. Bruce Springsteen wrote in one of his songs that heroes are the ones who raise children and make families happy, so, here it is, a great, well acted, better written heroic story that will show you what married life really is.
