In this adaptation of Terrence McNally's play, Johnny (Al Pacino), an ex-con turned short order cook, woos Frankie (Michelle Pfeiffer), a reluctant plain jane waitress. Set in a dingy Manhattan diner, the story revolves around Johnny's eager, won't-stop-at-anything attempt to draw the embittered, recalcitrant Frankie out of her shell. As the two loners inch closer to love, we learn about their past: how Johnny landed in prison and what soured Frankie on men and relationships. Minimize

Simply . . . Chemistry

Author's Rating: 4/5 stars

Pros: Intense real deliverance of the 'emotional spectrum'-anger to frustration to anguish to truimph !

Cons: Not enough direction of courting from the 'excitement' standpoint.

Bottom Line:
To be able to see being given a 'second chance' at happiness with life, is possibly a good thing. Two hard-working people find what matters in life and share it. Read More
