Plot in a Nutshell: Clairvoyant Marina (Demi Moore) impulsively marries Leo the butcher, moves with him to New York City and begins to change people's lives for the better with her 'homespun' but sage advice - much to the annoyance of their psychiatrist (Jeff Daniels).

Why I rated it a "7": It's charming and cute. Doesn't try to be something it's not. This is no Oscar contender, but then it was never intended to be. Falls squarely in the "Rom-Com" and "Chick Flick" genres, but does so comfortably. The supporting cast shines - especially Mary Steenburgen and George Dzundza. There is enough light comedy to keep the pace moving. Seeing Demi Moore with long, blonde, permed hair was a twist. I saw this years ago and remembered liking it. Seeing it again recently did not change my opinion, it's still harmless fun.

Best Line: Leo (to Dr. Tremor): "Stop (messing) with my life!" Dr. Tremor: "I never touched her!"

Would I watch again (Y/N)? Yes.

It's obvious that back in 1991 that critics attacked Demi Moore for this because she was trying to do something different. Other actresses may have been more obviously right for this part, but you can't help but give Demi credit for the sweetness of her performance. Her accent is a bit over the top, even thicker than Sissy Spacek's in "Coal Miner's Daughter", but she is completely Charming as an innocent young lady with the gift of clairvoyance who helps everybody around her when she out of the blue marries George Dzunda, a Brooklyn butcher yet slowly falls in love with local psychiatrist Jeff Daniels while helping out everybody in the neighborhood.

They include Daniels' neurotic girlfriend Margaret Colin, spinster Mary Steenburgen and sophisticated Frances McDormand, a lesbian boutique proprietor. Thanks to Demi, all of these people's lives change, particularly Steenburgen's, going from mousy church lady to sexy chanteuse. This is one of those whimsical comedies that will charm some and nauseated others, and I am one of the former. It is not a perfect film, but a sweet, pleasant one.

I wish there was more footage and a bit more dialogue for Moore's grandmother, played by stage and soap veteran Elizabeth Lawrence who in her seventies started getting more film work after decades on the serials, having just left a 12 year run on "All My Children". It's obvious to me from the start that Dzunda and Moore are ill-suited, and that the writers would end up going for the glamorous good looking couple with Moore and Daniels. Steenburgen is an absolute delight, stealing the film. It's a charming film that took director Terry Hughes from the small screen ("Golden Girls") to the big screen. Perhaps it was a bit dated by a few years as comedies in the early 90's were very different than they had been the decade before.

Marina (Demi Moore) grew up on a North Carolina island with her grandma and clairvoyant powers. She sees signs of her other half coming and Leo Lemke (George Dzundza) rows his boat on shore. She immediately marries the butcher and moves to NYC. Everybody is shocked at the pairing. Marina tells Robyn Graves (Margaret Colin) to stand up to love. She asks her psychiatrist boyfriend Dr. Alex Tremor (Jeff Daniels) to marry her but he rejects her. Marina convinces Leo to hire troubled Eugene (Max Perlich). Grace (Frances McDormand) owns the dress shop and Stella Keefover (Mary Steenburgen) is reserved. Tremor is angered as everybody takes Marina's advise and Leo is beside himself.

Demi Moore is blonde. She's so very, very blonde. She's trying to play a southern unsophisticated mystic. If you could accept that, then this is a charming little film. It's such an odd turn for her that it's bound to rub some people the wrong way. It's admirable that she tries to be different but it doesn't feel entirely natural. There's a fine fable at its core if you get through the blonde outer core.
