Where to begin? Ah yes - In the role of the novelist: Patrick Swayze.
...
You can tell he is intellectual, because he made the daring character choice of wearing glasses.
Fortunately for Swayze, Melanie Griffith was cast opposite, making him Olivier by comparison.
Her character - Lulu - begs to be strangled. I seriously scraped my knuckles trying to reach through the screen to choke her. She's supposed to be this schizo - a tender, profound soul with an impulsive, child-like disposition - but it comes off as the most affected crap you've ever seen.
It especially drove me crazy as I live in New York surrounded by NYU girls that are equally desperate to seem quirky.
If you see this on television, don't watch it. Turn off the TV, get up, leave your house, wait AT LEAST 3 hours (Just to be safe - these movies can really get stretched out with commercials), and then kill yourself.
