Kloves' entertaining directorial debut features three superlative performances by Jeff and Beau Bridges (as bickering siblings) and particularly Michelle Pfeiffer, who is here at her sexiest with a show-stopping number atop a piano in a red dress!

Top CriticA completely engaging, thoroughly entertaining romantic comedy structured entirely on the strength of its main characters. One of the ten-best of 1989.

There have been only three truly breathtaking torch singers in movie history: Rita Hayworth, Jessica Rabbit, and Michelle Pfeiffer.

Great script, strong performances, wonderful music ... and Michelle Pfeiffer at her absolute sexiest.

Simmering performances from the three lead characters that hit all the right buttons in this portrait of sibling rivalry.
