 | This is just a wonderful, romantic, funny movie, which I finally just watched. This movie seems as timely today as it must have been when it was released in the late 1980s. I've always loved Kevin Bacon and this movie just confirms that he is a multitalented actor. Loved McGovern also as a young and happy wife. Wow, Alec Baldwin was good looking in his younger days!
Anyways, this is a great movie. Kick off your shoes, get the popcorn and cozy up! |

| *Spoiler Notice*
Okay, so maybe the movie was a little quirky, but this was the eighties folks. The thing about this movie on a VERY personal level is that I gave birth to our daughter in 1988 & my husband (at the wise old of nineteen, mind you) got to experience the feeling of watching me start to hemorrage (sp?) and be shuffled out of the delivery room with no explanation other than there was a complication. The thing is, while everything around me was in complete crisis, I kept hearing "Woman's Work" & didn't have the fear that everyone around me did, I felt calm and reassured. The sound of Kate Bush is always welcome, but at a time like that, it's an absolute gift from the heavens & after several blood transfusions, I got to see my little gift from the heavens - who is now 16! So, watch the movie for all of it, but remember that that situation can become very real, very quickly & the movie portrayed it beautifully. |

| This movie is so comforting to me.
Its sweet, funny and def. gives you a message.
No matter how green the grass may seem (A man that has a lot on his plate: Kevin Bacon is on the verge of a affair with a pretty young woman) it's not always.
moral of the story is you need to go with your heart.
He realized at the end that his wife and baby on the way meant more to him that reconnecting with his "single self"
I absolutely love this movie.
love the music, love the actors, love the scenes where bacon and his wife are trying to have a baby. too funny!

| Ok, I understand the male and female symbols used on the movie logo.
Those represent the male and female viewpoints of the main two characters.
They are the traditional "Mars" and "Venus" symbols representing masculinity and femininity.
I also understand the last symbol representing "infinity", a never-ending loop symbolizing an ideal marriage that will last forever. Or maybe the propagation of "eternal life" by the offspring of the parents carrying on their genes into eternity.
But what is to be made of the star and dagger symbol???
Are these symbols somehow representing a conflict of religious values?
(The Star of David representing Judaism and a cross representing Christianity)
I haven't seen the movie in years but I don't remember a conflict in religious beliefs being part of the plot.
