Soso Relastionship Flicks


This musical love story features Beatles songs amid a backdrop of late 60s anti war activism. I do like the songs and they're sung well enough by the actors. I just found it a bit long and boring. I just think they went too far to fit the songs together. I'd just rather listen to the originals.

Rob Lowe and Demi Moore hook up and start living together. I guess this film tried to show how tough it is to get along. I just thought these two deserved each other as they didn't ever sit down and talk about how they were gonna live. Relationships are tough, but people gotta talk before they get in em.

About Last Night...


While technically not a relationship film, it has a couple element in it. A babysitter gal packs up the kids she's sitting and drives to the big city to pick up her runaway friend at the bus station. Before she gets there, she runs afoul of car thieves, a raging tow truck driver and saves one of the kids form falling off a skyscraper.

Confused? Me too. I remember seeing this in the theater back in the day. Maybe it's neat to see a young Elisabeth Shue, Bradley Whitford or Vincent D'Onofrio. There are way better teen angst films, though.
