“One of the most free-spirited US films of the ’80s.”
—Cine-File

“A fun, funky, fast-paced road-movie romance … designed exclusively to entertain.”
—The Playlist

Jonathan Demme’s comic masterwork stars Jeff Daniels as a tight-ass yuppie who is caught up in the orbit of the exciting, impulsive “bad girl” Melanie Griffith. It’s all fun and games until Griffith’s dangerous ex-con husband (Ray Liotta in a star-making performance) shows up. A laugh a minute and characteristically cool in the Demme manner. In 35mm.
