Movie Review: Continental Divide


John Belushi stars with Blair Brown as an unlikely pair who find love. Belushi's investigation into Chicago corruption forces him to leave town for a while. He decides to head up into the mountains to find a reclusive woman who studies bald eagles.

Mr. city mouse falls in love with Ms. country mouse and they try and sort out where they should live. Back in the early 80s era, conservationists worried for the survival of American eagles. I think this film was a way to show that issue in the wrapper of a romantic comedy.

I wish they'd picked someone more believable to portray this pair. Ah well, have a look in Bandon for the DVD and Coos Bay and North Bend for the VHS.
