Garry Marshall directed this film which starts as a light comedy but moves into heavy-duty drama later on. David Basner (Tom Hanks in a good performance) works in an ad agency, where he enjoys bantering with his co-workers and meets a lot of women. He hasn't been especially close to his father (Jackie Gleason) and never thought about him much until his Dad is left devastated when his wife of 36 years walks out on him. He is soon faced with serious health problems as well. This propels the elder Basner on a downward slide that affects David and their relationship. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

With minimal sex and covered-up nudity, this routine romance about love in New York's high fashion world has enough glamor and beautiful people to satisfy glossy standards, but the storyline is thinner than the models under consideration. Dino (Bruce Lyons) and Richie (Richard Bekins) pose as young men in the film industry in order to get behind the scenes in the world of modelling -- where they meet Becky (Anne Howard) who falls for Richie, and Serina (Cindy Harrel) who is more interested in her career than in Dino. Between rounds of parties and the high life of the fashion world, Richie and Dino are not exactly suffering when their love interests give them a hard time. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

This mediocre slasher film from director Andrew Davis is worth watching more for its cast than for its cliched story. The film is set in the usual isolated forest, where a ratty-looking killer (who seems to be covered with Spanish moss) makes survival difficult for some foul-tempered campers. Among the doomed are future luminaries Rachel Ward, Daryl Hannah, and Adrian Zmed. The leaders, played by Joe Pantoliano and Mark Metcalf, are some of the most irritating characters in any 1980s slasher film, bickering until they sound like tenderfoot versions of Barnes and Elias from Platoon. The characters' constant ill temper is designed to add to the tension, but serves only as a distraction. The murders are low-key and dull, save for Metcalf's well-handled death scene, and the obligatory "telling of the legend" is less spooky than obnoxious. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi
