Happy Together

Amazing how old movies are better than junk made today.(I used the translator)

Chris Wooden (Patrick Dempsey) is a college freshman. The computer mistakenly puts him in with Alex Page (Helen Slater). She's a flighty social butterfly and he's trying to emulate a stuffy writer. They don't get along at first. Brian "something with a K" (Brad Pitt) is her boyfriend until the next one. Stan (Dan Schneider) is their wacky neighbor always with his girlfriend mannequin. Ruth Carpenter is their drama teacher.

I have never been a fan of Dempsey. Slater is on and off. She's pretty but I'm not always in love with her characters. Together, they don't have enough chemistry. The dialog isn't good enough to have fun with their relationship. I struggle to get involved with this duo. They are a lot better on paper but they are not in reality. I actually think that it would work if they become friends and it would be more interesting. Her problem is that she hates her flirtatious reputation and her lack of stable relationships. Stan's wackiness isn't particularly funny. Just in case you're wondering, Brad Pitt doesn't do much in this movie.

I could be loved by you <3 <3 <3 If you love love, watch this movie! It's adorable!

Patrick Dempsey stars well as teenager actor, reach in stardom on Loverboy and aftermaths made fine comedies, Helen Slater follow the same steps after shinning in The Legend of Billy Jean became an upcoming star by her undeniable beauty, making several movies hereinafter nonetheless both grow up and the magic is done, thus they headed to TV-series for good and which remained together, what a waste.

On auspicious Happy Together that flopped wretchedly due the lack of chemistry over such distinct couple, Dempsey wasn't the heartthrob properly speaking, instead Helen Slater fits in in this beauty standard, thus the skinny boy was miscasting for the role, worst the lame screenplay impose a dull and excentric affair may laying down the epicenter of the failure, a tiresome offer that never gets fire, a weird supporting casting also didn't help to much, whoever wrote it wasn't inspired whatsoever.

Somehow both in short time starting down the hill, end up working on countless shows, it's a pity indeed, Patrick Dempsey should carry on stereotyped character as weak-coward guy that often got in trouble in funny situations, in other hand the gorgeous Helen Slater should be exploited as sexy girl in romantic pictures or mature characters, whatever they made some noise on the eighties and early nineties.

Thanks for reading.

Resume:

First watch: 1991 / How many: 2 / Source: TV-Youtube / Rating: 5.5.

It might not be a classic, it might not be realistic, but it is certainly entertaining. This is just a good, fun film that I just keep watching!

Its a typical 80's teen college story, with stereotypical characters bursting from every seam. At times you cringe but unless you're looking for something deep and meaningful from the film or want to watch something "ground breaking" then just sit back and enjoy.
