Now available in videocassette and DVD!
I love getting these "old" movies out from Netflix. I mean, jeez, this is around when we ditched all our VHS tapes and cut the cable. I guess they wanted as wide a distribution as possible in the home video market, because it grossed only $22k in the theaters. Ouch, which is too bad, because this movie definitely deserves a wider audience.
Frankie and Johnny Are Married has some absolutely wonderful moments, I love the real-life married couple playing the semi-fictionalized versions of themselves, Stephen Tobolowsky provides a few good minutes for Michael Pressman to reflect, and David E. Kelley's two short scenes are great (especially the second, where Pressman asks him how Kelley and Pfeiffer manage their personal relationship amid the potential for professional jealousy).
Overall, it's almost a very good film. I recommend it, but be prepared for the rough patches where you'll find yourself checking the time.
