I saw this movie when it came out and although it's been nearly 30 years, the memory of this disaster remains fresh. I'm shocked to see all the rave reviews. I was never a huge fan of Ryan O'Neal, but his presence in this film shows how much his career had deteriorated since "Love Story" and "Paper Moon."
"So Fine" was intended as a satire on the garment industry and the gullibility of the fashion-conscious, in this case, a company that sets the fashion world on fire with jeans with see-through hip pockets. The finale, a disastrous opera production, was intended as an homage to the Marx Bros.' "A Night at the Opera" with "amusing" subtitles, an example being something like "I, Mr. Eddie, have come for my revenge." You couldn't pay me to watch this thing again.
