I remember loving this when it cam out. I was 30. 35 years later I see it differently. It is a comic masterpiece. None of the jokes fall flat. Martin is as brilliant as ever. Look at all of the great actors in the smaller roles; Shelly Duvall is so darned loaveable here. The plot so well paralleles the original. But it is rare that I have ever felt a movie with such intense love for its characters. It has that special something that "Moonstruck" (which came out right after) had. Time has been good to this movie. Darryl Hannah is fine (not the great beauty they expect you to recognize), and the chemistry with Martin feels genuine. Cprmu? Amost, but it never goves over the edge. Nothing since has come close to its elegant beauty..
