How do you put Robert Redford and Michelle Pfeiffer in a movie together and make it terrible? By writing a God-awful story about a lousy weather girl who wants to be taken seriously as a journalist.
An older, experienced reporter takes her under his wing, and then they fall in love. It's not unbelievable that they fall in love—after all, they're both beautiful people—but Michelle Pfeiffer as a career woman? Not the most credible casting in the world. The script is mediocre, the romance is boring, and the ending is terrible. Plus, you'll have to sit through Michelle singing "The Impossible Dream" in the middle of an empty amphitheater. Singing in Grease 2 and The Fabulous Baker Boys is one thing, but Man of La Mancha is a little out of her talent bracket.
