Too much of everything

Simply Perfect

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

This show had a pretty incredible cast as you can see from the listing, but if there was ever an actress *not* to put in a sitcom, Michael Learned is she. She's a terrific dramatic actress, and may have a wonderful sense of humor, but she has a more somber demeanor than anyone I've ever met. I don't know what the producers were thinking. This story of a modeling agent and her houseful of young clients might have had a chance under other circumstances, but it wasn't anything special. It was spun off from "Who's The Boss?" but later in that show's run--so that wasn't any help.
