A Tiger's Tale

Part of this movie was filmed at a 10K run in Houston. Those of us who participated in the 10K were invited to stay after the race and be extras. I stuck around and was in several race related scenes, including part of a group of 10 runners who were running with two of the stars (C. Thomas Howell and another whose name I don't remember). When the movie came out, I was surprised there was no mention in the local Houston media about it. I went to go see it, knowing I would see myself, but I found ALL scenes filmed in Houston were removed. All action took place in a small Texas town. Alas, I ended up on the cutting room floor! I really don't remember much about the movie, but noted it was filmed in Waller County, which is next to Harris County where Houston is.

I loved this movie. I was not an Ann Margret fan at all, but after seeing this movie, I think she is great! It is a "Chick Flick"! But very funny, heartwarming and entertaining!She continues to look great for her age and her performance of a middle aged nurse involved with a soon to be college student and she finds her self in a situtation she didn't think would happen.

I agree with Roger Ebert's '87 review; this movie is unfocused. Concentrate on the Ann-Margret and young man's relationship with an open mind. The relationship may not be common but if realism were the criterion for excellence in a movie, what (I include "documentaries" and "news footage") would qualify?

This movie is mainly for Ann-Margret fans and those who like a little twist to the confusions of life, at whatever age.

Funny and insightful of the teen love of an older woman. And who wouldn't love A-M no matter what the age difference. In my case, only a few weeks! She is sexy and beautiful and he is love-struck. Smarmy ending but entirely plausible.

Sexy Ann- Margret still has what it takes! This wonderful overlooked drama/comedy has everything! Kelly Preston plays her daughter that cannot hold onto her boyfriend after he meets Ann- Margret! She still has to be one of the sexiest screen talents around! This 1987 film was not received well by the critics but is worth seeing! Especially if you love Ann-Margret!
