Talk to Me

Is it just me or would Talk to Me make more sense as the title? Over half the duration of the film we witness Nolte trying to persuade Winger to talk to him. Then we have to endure Winger as she responds in defensive and questionably odd manners; either response is gratingly difficult to watch. And lets not forget the silly segments with Will Patton as Jerry with his garage/church (complete with a live lamb, candles atop ladders, and benches made from bricks and boards). How 'bout his playing chicken at the end while wearing that stupid grin?

This movie started out fairly well, but roughly around 45 minutes in I began to understand why some say it's bad.

I'm so tired right now.. so can't get into any long essay on this flick.... So, "simplelines".. you are right on. Only just have to add abit.

I'm a fan of Nick and still am in love with Debra Winger... but this was, well both their stars were waning abit...
The last 1/2 was to me awful... I mean awful... what were they thinking.. what were they drinking...
The ending... did I just hallucinate it... are you kidding me... Well, it got what it deserved... I just finished viewing it and.. I'm still numb. Holy cow!
