Extremely well made and hysterical film about a womanizing drunk played by the wonderful John Ritter. This is a rated R comedy/drama filled with hilarity and heart. Why this film is not better know is an absolute mystery. Okay, not a complete mystery...you can't find it anywhere to watch!! There was a DVD release many years ago, but its out of print. Streaming services in the states do not carry it. Must be something going on with the US rights to the film. Ritter's performance is so poignant yet endearing. Reminds me how much I truly enjoyed him as an actor. He was the perfect choice for this role. People need to see this film to be reminded of what we lost when he passed. This is a fantastic late 80s film, filed with the music and fashion of the era, which lends to its charm. However the script is tight, comedy well paced and executed, a really great film.
