A young photographer in Baltimore Maryland is discovered by a New York City art dealer. His show is a success, but it causes problems for his friends and family because the photos provide a deep view into their lives.
I had gotten so tired of the "high art" films with hidden meanings and lofty ideals. It's good to watch a plain American comedy after all of that snobbishness. The plot held my attention very well and the characters were interesting. I even thought some parts were funny. A good example is the clothing store woman catching the photographer and shoplifter pair and forcing a "pecker picture". I rate this good because it's a very sincere and unpretentious comedy. I recommend it if you have gotten into a similar situation with watching films like I have.
An American comedy directed by Thom Eberhardt, starring Kurt Russell, Martin Short and Mary Kay Place.
A business man who is bored with his life inherits a boat. He takes his family to pick it up and hires a captain to pilot it. The captain turns out to be more interesting than they expected and they have adventures together.
This is one of the movies that I grew up watching on TV. The plot is simple, but effective. The characters are stereotypical, yet entertaining. The audio and video reek of the time period. Upon my re-watch, I noticed that there is a continuity error in the scene with the argument over the guns. The father is shown holding them when they should be on the table. Whoops! Overall, sentimental value over actual quality. I rate this good.
