Review of Murphy's Romance (1985) by Jill T — 11 Aug 2008

This is an oldie (1986) but a goodie. I haven't seen this in ages and watched the other night.

I can't put my finger on a single reason why I love this movie... but I do.

I love the cast first - and I love how Sally's character is trying to be a strong woman. She's trying to pick up the pieces, move on, take care of her boy and provide a good home... but like life - it doesn't always go as planned. She's smart, cute and not afraid to put it out there. It's just funny... I love the banter and chemistry between Sally Field and James Garner. And geesh - I didn't know that the kid in this movie was Corey Haim - pre-teen idol days... Learn something new every day ;).

Horses, men, and funny romance... what more does a woman need???
