Terrence McNally's stage play Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune was a two-character piece, which starred Kathy Bates and F. Murray Abraham on Broadway. Garry Marshall's film version of the McNally play streamlines the title to Frankie and Johnny, expands the dramatis personae to include at least a dozen fascinating characters, and "glamorizes" the decidedly unglamorous Frankie and Johnny in the forms of Michelle Pfeiffer and Al Pacino (their first co-starring stint since Scarface).

An absolutely delightful and tender romantic comedy. Succeeds so well because of the great, very real performances by the two leads and writer Terrence McNally's smart, often hilarious dialogue.
An adult vision of two complicated people converging, finding an ointment but not a cure for the ways in which they have been hurt.
The two A-List actors are definitely on their A game here, erasing most notions of miscasting through the passion of performance.
watchable
Good character study of simple people
An okay romantic comedy. A bit on the slow side.
A convincing anatomy of urban loneliness.
Splendid film version of the play. Intelligently done.
Star-power overcomes staginess in this surprisingly warm romance.
Nice classic
