This is a cute movie that is entertaining enough to keep your interest, but not one that ranks among the great romantic comedies of our time. There are a number of lesser-known bit actors in it (how long has it been since you've seen Bill Dana in anything?), and Nick Mancuso is clearly enjoying himself as he overacts playing the lecherous, famous, and rich Hollywood photographer. But the beautiful Felicity Waterman steals the movie with her charismatic charm. I'm surprised she hasn't become a more famous actress, as her presence lights up every scene (even if her fake German accent gets annoying after a while). The widescreen transfer to DVD is decent, but not great. This movie is worth a viewing, and you may fall for Felicity Waterman, as I have, but it probably isn't one you'll add to your collection.
I enjoyed the movie, partially because I was in rapture with FelicityWaterman. She is very attractive and did an excellent job portraying anaive East German girl coming to visit Hollywood. I even believed shewas European, her accent seemed that good. Also thought Chris Lemmon was good in his role. While obviously no wayhe could match his father's career, was surprised he didn't have alarger career. Seems like a very likable guy. Some excitement, somelaughs, some love. I enjoyed the movie, would watch it again, even ifonly to see Ms. Waterman in that short dress. Somebody involved increating this movie definitely had a thing for James Dean.
