stunning in this film, which was one of her very earlier roles and carried off her role really well within the realms of her character. Lowe did a great job in his role, both sexy and sensitive to some extent and was very tasty to look at too; although his acting here wasn't his best! Belushi was actually quite hilarious (although personally I can find him rather annoying sometimes in other films) as Lowe's best friend and flat-mate continually trying to put a fly in the ointment and Perkins was more than adequate in her role as Moore's best mate and flat-mate. Mullally was funny in her role as Moore's "other" best friend (it was weird seeing her in this film after having seen her so often in Will and Grace).

Having lots of 80s tunes in the film I thought it worth mentioning that some of the singers/songs included Sheena Easton - "So Far, So Good" and "Natural Love", John Oates "Shape of Things to Come", Jermaine Jackson - "Words into Action" and John Waite - "If Anybody Had a Heart", even more nostalgia for those of us that grew up in that era!

Overall I'd give the film a reasonable 7 out of 10. For 80s nostalgia it was enjoyable, for the music it was enjoyable but don't expect to like the characters too much and don't expect a deep and meaningful story.
