 A Wonderful Romantic Comedy February 14, 2009
P. H. (Summerfield, FL USA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
An involving 1988 romantic comedy about a young man who travels to Canada to spend Christmas with the young woman he loves and her family. With beautiful cinematography (shot in very naturalistic light), a wonderful cast, and an engaging script, this coming-of-age story goes way beyond the usual screwball comedy by adding an emotional component that echoes film noir. Funny and touching, the film drew me into the world it portrayed; I thought it ended much too soon. This is one of those films where you feel that the director, the actors, the script, and the music are all in harmony. Highly recommended for all of us who know families that are a little different.
 I enjoyed this when it first came out YEARS ago and still do... July 25, 2008

It's a "fun" movie (at least for me it was) about the misadventures of a young man while staying with the eccentric family of who he thinks is his girl... I enjoyed it VERY much and snapped it up when it was finally released to DVD...
One of the Best May 9, 2008

I too have waited a long time for a DVD copy. I haven't bought it yet, but will do so in a few minutes.
I have shown this film to many friends over the years and, interestingly, it is always the men who responded to it most positively. The women liked it, but were not wowed the way the men were.
I think it speaks to the young man that each of us were. Trying to impress the girl, failing, impressing the wrong girl, failing, finding the true nature of love (if we're lucky) beyond the physical.
Great music, great acting, touching in so many ways. It's more than worth a look.
 SOME GIRLS March 25, 2008

SOME GIRLS is a real curio. The reason why I purchased it was for the talented Oscar-winners, Jennifer Connelly and Lila Kedrova. I remember when I first saw this film on cable. It wasn't a great film, but the cast (especially the wonderful Kedrova as Connelly's grandmother) kept it interesting. Connelly's family is definitely interesting all right. Only recommended for fans of Patrick Dempsey or the beautiful Connelly.
 Badly lit stupid film March 18, 2008
Jim Jr (Buffalo, NY United States)
3 out of 22 found this review helpful
This film looks like they forgot to turn the lights on when they were filming. Except for the hospital scenes, everything - even the outdoors scenes - are badly lit.
The whole idea of the film is really unappealing. There is a lot of male nudity, with the private parts mostly covered, but one scene with Patrick Dempsey showing it all revealing his shortcomings (thank you David Neven).
SPOILER: The ghost of the grandmother in the cemetary is really dumb.
