Continuing my quest to watch all the movies from all my future husbands :pound_symbol:2: RDJ This was so fun. I wasn't expecting to enjoy this is as much as I did. The characters were ridiculous but the plot twists were fun. It was a great parody of soap operas. The only bad side of this was the ending, it didn't really age well. But the rest of it had great jokes and RDJ in those glasses was actually beautiful. Sally Fields crushed this role.

Ultimately, a fundamentally transphobic and therefore reprehensible movie. Until that point, it was a melodramatic yet bland and almost entirely unmemorable film.

Above all else, this film is a big-budget, star-studded American version of a British farce. The melodrama IS the point. Sally Field is fantastic and it is full of terrific performances from a lot of veteran actors who are having a great time. Like a lot of raucous comedies, it is best watched with a group of people who are willing to have a good time. Indeed, weird loners who would condemn it for supposedly anti-trans stuff woulf hate it because they are angry losers who are allergic to goofiness for the sake of it. Don't trust them with any opinions.

Cute little flick that lampoons daytime television. The irony is that it falls into the same tropes as its subject matter, by design I'm sure, but those convolutions make it feel more bloated than hilarious.
