This film in my opinion shows Rob Lowe for teenager fans. The rest lacks of script, hooks, actings, even the history is plain and uninspired. The nice guy travel to England to know the girl of his dreams and the British despised him (In Oxford) but he succeed. Also the British characters are boring, tedious, predictable. I don't want to spoil but it's only a film to remember the eighties and Rob Lowe and Ally Sheedy (Maybe the strongest point). The rest can't be much more accomplished and has some real flaws... specially on the script aspect. The scenes of rowing towards the river and competitions are the best of this movie. Only for fundamentalists of Rob.

I remember when I saw for the first time this movie on TV in Buenos Aires (My native city). In 1984 I believe. I was fascinated with Chauncey's personality. A gardener that never walked away from his house, had absolutely no connection to the rest of the world despite his love with the gardens and flowers. This movie has and unique dynamical and I don't want to spoil with my review. Just watch Sellers shine here, and a very beautiful and sensitive Shirley McLaine. An unique piece of art that shows some parts quite mysterious and how supposed people that have power could be cheated. Oh by the way, "I like to watch", so go and if you don't see this movie yet, for sure you will see something quite different. And for me that it is a strong value.
