This was a "sweet" romantic-comedy in which Steve Martin was near the top of his game, so to speak, and Darryl Hannah never looked better. Just staring at her in some scenes was awesome. Martin's character, "C.D. Bales," thought so, too.
This movie, based on the famous play, "Cyrano de Bergerac," was pretty charming throughout with Martin providing light humor and and sporting a humongous nose. Unfortunately, that nose helps prevent the object of his affection, "Roxanne" (Hannah) from receiving that back, the latter prefer the handsome-but-dumb "Chris McConnell" (Rich Rossovich).
The only thing that was not sweet or charming was the abuse of the Lord's name in vain, used about 10 times in here. For a movie of this nature, that is uncalled for and ruined the enjoyment of this film for me. There was no need for that. Without it, I would elevate this to a "9."
