Frankly, years after seeing this, all I remember are two things: 1 - Michelle Pfeiffer laying on a top of a piano singing and looking very alluring; 2 - The Bridges boys, Jeff and Beau, arguing with each other brutally in the last 30 minutes of the film.
All three of these actors have one thing in common: they all play in a lot of profane roles, as they do here. They all have garbage-mouths and love to use the Lord's name in vain. These are scummy actors but the story is good until the nastiness takes over the last half hour.
Earlier, the Baker boys - Jack (Jeff Bridges) and Frank (Beau Bridges) are fun for at least half the movie. I like Pfeiffer's name in here: Susie Diamond, an apt name for someone crooning "Makin' Whoopee."
Overall, a modern-day soap opera with too much profanity and not worth seeing just for one scene.
