We have all met Richard Dreyfuss character - loud, passionate, enthusiastic & overbearingly positive - life is pure joy for him & Holly Hunter falls madly in love. For Holly's family the culture shock of this man on their quiet "normal" family life is tough to take - as Dreyfuss gradually takes over more and more the family are torn between their happiness ( sometimes ) for their daughter / sister & their own sanity. Superb performances, particularly from Dreyfuss & excellent dialogue - this is a little gem - think this gave the director his big break & whilst good films followed, Chocolate, Cider House Rules etc. this has to be his masterpiece
