It's not terrible for a film inspired by the popular song by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller.

I recognize the flaws in this movie, but enjoy it nonetheless. Itï¿ 1/2(TM)s just plain cute.

It's definitely a fun "what-if" movie, and despite about a 50/50 split on good performances and bad, as well as a poorer-than-average script, it's enjoyable. It's fairly apparent that it was produced on a small budget. So many of the songs are in the public domain (such as classical music in a movie that isn't ABOUT classical music). Sandra Bullock does a nice job, which I'm sure contributed to her increasing fame. Again, enjoyable, the kind of movie that if you were flipping channels and bumped into it, you'd probably watch.

If there were potions like this, there would be millions of $ for it and against it, plus lots of lawsuits. The film works though.

Only way I could watch this God awful film was on fast forward. Don't think I missed much, got the gist of it and saved myself some time.

Really strange movie that started Sandra Dee's career. Some parts of the movie work, other parts do not. I think it would have been a lot better if it was more of a romance and less of a comedy. The lead actor Tate Donovan isn't funny. But I did enjoy it when he was with Sandra.
