After keeping the secret safe for 30 odd years I finally let it slip to my fiancée that I hadn't seen this.
So that ended up being my Sunday afternoon.
I am pleased to say that this is actually pretty good.
In some ways not an awful lot happens in this (like a lot of 90's movies) but the characters are engaging and the story is lean and holds it all together without getting too complicated.
I was surprised that there was some action, Kevin does a few roly-poly's through windows and there are some fisty-cuffs but this is mostly romance with a dash of suspense.
It is strange seeing something for the first time that is firmly ingrained into pop-culture.
After seeing poor old Whitney dragged out for public appearances in the last stages of her life it was startling to see her in her full, magnificent glory.
The "I will always love you" moment was ever-present in my mind like a shark circling a life raft.
But when it came it was still pretty impactful.
This has three special effects in it and two of them are really bad by todays standard - but mostly I was really surprised at how much I enjoyed this and I think it stands up.
