Pretty Sought After In Rental Stores And Unavailable Physically.


Well my point being it seems unavailable to rent or buy in physical stores for some time now.I know The usual response will be AMAZON HAS IT TO BUY which i am well aware of but some people are barely discovering it and may buy it if they enjoy it from renting it.Why it's not in heavy rotation in Walmart stores in the $5.00 bin puzzles me. The movie is very good and deserves a dvd rerelease by now.

Yep, this film is definitely and under rated hidden gem of a movie.

Just rewatched it on fx today. It holds up well with time, still one of my favorites. Makes me wonder why we don't see it more often on TV. Hour after hour of Two and a Half Men reruns, but no time for quality movies, hmmmm.

Very surprised it isn't either.Great movie!

I'm watching it RIGHT NOW on one of the STARZ premium movie channels.

And I also bought the DVD from Amazon.

Thank goodness for my old VHS from childhood ;) I need to get it out and give it a re watch it's been a few years.

Really an end of an era movie, last real big starring role Alice Silverstone had and one of Frasier's last. Still a good even underrated flick.

It deserves more play.

(I posted this elsewhere today) I also just watched it on Starz. Of the dozen viewings, this is the first time, uncut. It's almost a different movie, and worth searching for. Uncut, it's 30 minutes before Adam leaves his shelter.
But after that, most of the movie is seen, on cable channels.
