Featured review
A Lukewarm Romantic-Comedy
This film essentially takes place in the small town of Fairchilds, Texas with a young man by the name of "Bubber Drumm" (C. Thomas Howell) helping his veterinary father take care of several animals, to include a large tiger. As it so happens, Bubber is dating the prettiest girl in high school named "Shirley Butts" (Kelly Preston) who doesn't really care that much for him and basically flirts with a number of other boys on the side. Not that it really matters, because Bubber is more attracted to Shirley's mother "Rose Butts" (Ann-Margret) anyway. So, in order to help matters, he encourages his best friend "Randy" (William Zabka) into dating Shirley while he secretly pursues Rose. For her part, Rose has been quite lonely since her husband left her for another woman and, as a result, she finds it extremely difficult to resist Bubber's continuous advances. What neither of them realize, however, is just how spiteful Shirley will act once she finds out--and this eventually creates an unexpected problem for both of them. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that, for a comedy, there really wasn't that much humor to be found in this film. Likewise, even though it had a number of solid actors, other than Ann-Margret and C. Thomas Howell, none of the others really had much of an opportunity to showcase their talents. Be that as it may, while certainly not a great comedy by any means, I suppose it passed the time well enough, and I have rated it accordingly. Average.
