This is a fun film for a rainy day. It is nice to hang out at the Plaza Hotel for an hour or so.
Bette Midler steals the show, but with the full cooperation of Lily Tomlin, who is extremely annoying. Miss Tomlin pants her way through the New York character and "hicks" her way through the other. Neither is anywhere near believable, and the viewer needs a remote to fast forward through her scenes.
The more I watch this film, the more and more grating is Lily Tomlin's voice. She seems to want to convey stress by panting and panting and panting, only relieved by flapping her hands and losing her shoulder pad before panting and flapping some more.
If I were the New York City Sadie, I would have dumped this this nails-on-the-chalkboard Sis long before she inherited.
