Review of Lovesick (1983) by Norm D — 04 Feb 2018
These ratings are ridiculously & wrongly low. Is this the best of DMoore? No. Was casting Elizabeth McGovern inspired? Yes. Is this the best rom-com you'll see? No. Is it all good though? Yes. Is it reminiscent of Woody? Yes.
This is an hour-&-a-half of a pleasant, nearly delightful NYC town-&-no-country rom-com. And it works for the perfect length to which the film is cut. It's great to see the leads & a fine supporting cast back in the early '80's - and the warm apartment interiors of what's now yester'year. Perhaps not coincidentally McGovern's character is from Illinois; so is she.
Speaking of the '80's: One now drifts dreamily into memory when lives weren't dominated by electronic devices best suited to nerds & the socially stunted - i.e., the swarm of maternally helicoptered millennials who now outnumber the offspring of the men of the WW2 gen, the Boomers. | Norm de Guerre.
