Swedish director Lasse Hallstrom made his American movie debut with this romantic comedy, starring Holly Hunter as Renata Bella, an aimless Bostonian thirtysomething who attends a seminar for aspiring condo salespersons. Here she meets hotshot salesman Sam Sharpe (Richard Dreyfuss), who immediately falls in love with her. After the marriage, Sam's well-meaning but obnoxious insistence on insinuating himself into every aspect of Renata's life rubs the rest of her family the wrong way. Though the script occasionally veers into both cliché and sentimentality, Once Around ends up a thoroughly charming experience, thanks to Hallstrom's knowing direction and the marvelous chemistry between Hunter and Dreyfuss. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    For some reason I did not enjoy this movie very much. Richard Dreyfuss caracter was so obnoxious. Too much close family for my taste. The end left you feeling downcast.

    This was a good movie. I enjoyed the family dynamics. It was bright, colorful, and cheerful even with the sad events which happened. Holly Hunter gave a great performance.

    Who doesn't like Richard Dreyfuss and Holly Hunter together? If you're from the northeast you can easily relate to this movie with it's winter scenes. I love the family dynamics that occur - very moving. Keep the kleenex handy.

    Yes   |   No
