Overview
A hard-nosed Chicago journalist has an unlikely love affair with an eagle researcher.
I have really mixed feelings about Belushi’s performance in this movie. I generally love to see comedic actors playing dramatic roles (and lets not kid ourselves – this movie isn’t really a comedy), but I thought he was fairly mediocre here. It doesn’t help that he rarely speaks more than one line at a time. He brings a childish vulnerability to the film, and Blair Brown (who is by FAR the best thing about the movie) plays off of it. While it was pleasant seeing the two of them on screen together, the rest of the movie is rather pedestrian.
