It's nothing at all like those bigger, more "Hollywood" style movies. This is charming, low-key, and, well, goofy. It's played for oddness and smiles instead of big laughs. It's also smart and completely won us over. And it's a true story.
Definitely one of my very favorite sleepers.
Dempsey is terrific in these type roles(see: Can't Buy Me Love). Talia Balsam and Beverly D'Angelo are also excellent. But it's the subtle words and facial expressions of Michael Constantine,who plays the father, that give the film that added panache.
If you're looking for a fun and fairly brainless movie to rent for an evening I'd recommend this one.

The films include: Class (1983), My Tutor (1983), Private Lessons (1981), In the Mood (1987), and They're Playing with Fire (1984).
