Bowdlerization of the Glenn Savan novel. Our odd couple now are a well-bred, somewhat prissy widower and a heavy-drinking, heavy-laughing hamburger waitress, who come to a meeting of souls and of pelvic bones in a montage to a K.T. Oslin song. (He's twenty-seven, she's forty-three; he's Jewish, she's lapsed Catholic; he's opera, she's Oak Ridge Boys; he's celibate, she gives great head.) James Spader does some nice work, especially when inebriated, in a part that's a sort of female chauvinist pig's dream: he's willing, at last, to alter his whole personality to suit his lover. Susan Sarandon, Eileen Brennan; directed by Luis Mandoki. (1990) — Duncan Shepherd
