Featured reviews
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.
Wonderful Ann-Margret never fails to amaze me. She's just adorable in this movie, and I loved her character Rose. I found the relationship between Rose and Bubber to actually be quite believable. A-M just never does wrong by me. Loved this movie, Love Ann-Margret, It was sweet! Especially the ending!=) ~Tina~
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.

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.
