The on-screen energy that director Jonathan Demme captures in this quirky love story is almost palpable. Jeff Daniels stars as a buttoned-down office geek who goes off on the adventure of a lifetime when he runs into a wild woman named Lulu, played by Melanie Griffith. What stars as a fun bit of frivolity turns dangerously weird when Lulu’s fresh- from-prison husband (a truly menacing Ray Liotta) shows up to reclaim the women he left behind when he was put away three years ago. Romantic comedies are a dime a dozen; a film that successfully mixes romance with danger, however, is a rare find.
