Quotes:

Richard Dice: I still remember her first words to me. I was 5, she was 11, I walked into the girls bathroom while she was getting undressed. She said "get out of here, you little pervert!" God, she was sophisticated. It took me years to figure out what that meant.

Soundtrack:

When Love Breaks

No classic but fun anyway

While this movie may not be a show-stopping classic, it is funny and has an entertaining plot. Rob Lowe does seem somewhat out of his element here, though he does a good job with what has been given to him. Colleen Camp fans will love this movie, as she is as attractive as ever and we get to see her in a rare leading role. Some silly moments, but overall not a bad film. Some good footage of historic St Augustine as well.
