CGiii Comment
Hot off the heels from the huge success of Pretty Woman - Marshall presents another love story - this time with no wealth...but, with lots of grease.
The performances are...okay, nothing special.
Frankie is a pain-in-the-ass and it takes most of the film to understand her - and, suddenly, all is tickety-boo.
A few women may lose some tears...but, gay men will just shrug and wonder why the gay neighbours were there in the first place.
A wholly lacklustre affair.
