Ellen DeGeneres made her film debut in this forgotten box office bomb from the ’90s. Roger Ebert didn’t like the movie, but he liked her performance.
Ebert pointed out that Bill Pullman is also capable of being realistically charming, as he was in the recent film “While You Were Sleeping” (maybe one of the better ’90s romcoms)
