Very Sweet
I was channel surfing, and all of a sudden I see Michelle Pfeiffer, so I figure, "I may as well watch this". I am a great admirer of Michelle Pfeiffer and her work, and i thought that this movie was very sweet and sentimental. Michelle Pfeiffer (Frankie) is a waitress who isn't a very bright and cheery person. She has been burned by boyfriends in the past, and is very edgy about ever getting into a situation where she might be hurt again. Al Pacino (Johnny), has just been released from Prison, and is looking to start anew. He moves to NYC, and gets a job as a short order cook in a small greek diner, coincedentally, where Frankie slaves. He is the new guy, and is also the nice, but lonley guy. Johnny hits on Frankie in a touching and funny way, but she refuses to date him. Eventually, she and Johnny do get together, and Frankie tells all about how she was beaten, and oooh, you can find out the rest 4 yourselves. But the ending is touching, and both actors give very good performances. Very sweet, reccomened to the sentimental person.
