Good story, Not enough for a whole film

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Jason Bateman was great, but David Garrison also excelled in his role on this under-appreciated show. The two of them had great chemistry and comedic timing off each other. I couldn't believe it when the show was canceled. David Garrison was also good on "Married with Children". Of course Jason Bateman's career has gone on and on, notably the movie "Juno" and the cable series "Arrested Development".Too bad his sister wasn't as talented. She reached her high point on "Family Ties" convincingly playing a dim bulb. She was recently on "Desperate Housewives" and her looks have declined drastically. She has lost too much weight and appeared to be having a bad hair lifetime.

This was a great show. Yet it never seemed to get the viewers or popularity it deserved. It seems like a lot of copies came out later that got all the glory, yet were lesser shows. Bateman of course _was_ the show. His character was smarter and cooler than the posers. Like a lot of shows, it died an early death it did not deserve. At the time the show was on I never missed an episode. I really do not understand how Growing Pains became so huge while this masterpiece slipped into oblivion. Mind you Growing Pains was good, but not at this level. Stupid TV execs.Oh well. Any news of it on DVD?

I'm involved in a thread on another board, we're posting 70's & 80's sitcoms back and forth. I don't think any of the posters are hip to this one. I was upset when this show was cancelled, it was the one show that I never missed. It was so long ago, that I can't remember too many episodes. Let's see, the soccer one when the large dude was called The Wall (The goalie on my hockey game is called this). The episode when they're controlling skeletons, making them into a rock band. I'll be looking for it, maybe I'll start a petition about it.

This show came and went. They will never come this close to perfection again. Jason Bateman could of been the idol of millions if this show was given a complete second season. Sadly it ended with self apologetic demise. No syndication what so ever. I'd pay to own episodes of this on tape
