100One of those entertainments where you laugh a lot along the way, and then you end up on the edge of your seat at the end.

80The film, like its heroine, has a genius for getting by on pure charm. [21 Dec 1988]
-
60A subplot involving Griffith and first boyfriend Alec Baldwin becomes the-subplot-that-wouldn't-go-bust, and comic scenes sometimes go bankrupt because they just hold their stock too long. Light entertainment like this should zip along like those financial quote boards.
