This is a great movie that didn't get a fair break when it was first released. The cast is wonderful, especially the re-teaming of Richard Dreyfus and Holly Hunter (Both were fantastic in the film, "Always," too).
Renata Bella (Hunter)comes from a close knit family. Her parents (Danny Aiello and Gena Rowlands), sister (Laura San Giacomo) and brother (Danton Stone) are a happy bunch. But poor Renata seems groundless and had just broken up with her boyfriend. During a seminar, she meets Sam Sharpe (Dreyfus), a man that is full of life and brutally honest. They fall in love and she takes him to meet her family, who are dismayed by his behavior and equally dismayed when Sam marries Renata. She doesn't understand why her family dislikes Sam, and this causes a rift between the once tight family. When an illness befalls Sam, the family rallies together to make sure he's o.k.
This is not a woman's film where you get all emotional, but a film about the importance of family. Great addition to your collection.
