A friend of mine who is more of a film-buff than me recommended this to me, I consulted the almighty eBay and got it on VHS. I really like the film, but I may be biased:
I watched the trailers on the front of the video and one question presents itself...Were there No other good films in 1988?
'There are three of them, and Alleline'
A quick search of my own collection came up with 3 good 1988 films: A Fish Called Wanda, Bull Durham and Working Girl.
