Ernie Souchak (John Belushi) is a hard-nosed city reporter in Chicago. After corrupt cops put him in the hospital, his editor sends him out to the Rockies to do a story on bald eagle researcher Nell Porter (Blair Brown). She tries to kick him out but his guide has already left. They're stuck together in the wilderness for two weeks. The mismatch pair fight, discover each other and then sparks fly. The big problem remains the continental divide separating his city life and her outdoor research.
John Belushi was sadly underused as a romantic lead. It's too bad. He has a naturally charming personality without his usual broad comedic touches. Blair Brown has a cute granola style. They are a good match. The Lawrence Kasdan script has plenty of fun and allows the couple to develop the chemistry. This is a good rom-com and Belushi could have broaden his range. His early death put an end to it all.
