Sweet corny romantic comedy complete with a silly concept and two likeable stars in Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. (This is the sort of film that only works with stars.) Goldie flaunts her body like its going out of style, and since it’s excellent good on her.
The film has a lovely family feeling and it passes the time just fine. You could imagine this being made from a Norman Krasna screenplay in the 30s with Claudette Colbert and Joel McCrea. (Adding to the old Hollywood feel is the presence of Roddy McDowall in the support cast.)
Like many Gary Marshall films it goes on too long and has a dragged out climax.
