In Boston, Renata Bella (Holly Hunter) is doing badly in love. Her younger sister Jan (Laura San Giacomo) gets married. Her parents (Danny Aiello, Gena Rowlands) are happily in love. For her love life, her boyfriend tells her that he would never marry her and dumps her. She gets a new job selling time shares in the Caribbean. She goes there to take the seminar and falls for brash charismatic presenter Sam Sharpe (Richard Dreyfuss).
Renata is adorable. I don't care that much about Sam but despite that, the family's reaction to him has no great support. It may work if he's a drunk. He's older but that's never used as an excuse. It seems mostly his self-confidence and commanding personality which is pushing the family apart. That may still work if the family is a bunch of wallflowers. This family is full of big personalities with big personality actors. They are well equipped to tell Sam whatever they want. It would never get to this point. This seems wrongly considered. Sam needs to be more flamboyant and the family needs to be more shy. The clash of personalities is expected but is not justified.
