- Life has just handed Beth Macauley the short straw. Her husband and suburban home are gone. She still has her two boys - and a new destination. She’s moving to the big city of Baltimore - and into the biggest adventure of her life. Two-time Academy Award winner* Jessica Lange plays Beth in this warm-hearted, funny fable from Risky Business director Paul Brickman about staying together when all else is falling apart. Screen-debuting Chris O’Donnell (two years before his star making Scent of a Woman role) and Charlie Korsmo are the sons who unwittingly push Beth into one pitfall of single parenthood after another. Newcomers to Beth’s world include an avant-garde composer (Arliss Howard), a flakier-than-cereal neighbor (Joan Cusack) and a boss (Kathy Bates) skilled in management by terror.
There are so many movies from the 80’s that I thought would be ageless/enduring that I find laughable & cringey now. This is not that. The Thomas Newman score alone remains phenomenal & than you have an all star cast that opens your heart, shatters it & puts it all back together within 1hr. & 55 minutes. This movie still pumps oxygen back into this rapidly airless world.
Joan Cusack can check my lungs 24-7
I love those 80's and 90's movies with family values. If anyone wants to recommend me more of these types I accept suggestions.
Running on Empty is good too.
