Once Around (1991)
Unexpected Ending, Funny Movie
29 June 2005 - 4 out of 5 users found this review helpful.
I loved this movie. Yes, it is true that Sam (Richard Dreyfuss) is an obnoxious and over-the-top salesman. I kept expecting him to be a total jerk in the relationship and break Renata's heart. But he didn't, and I think it is a wonderfully comedic love story. Danny Aiello is great as the stereotypical Italian father. Once Around takes a humorous look at family relationships & dynamic, and how those dynamics are affected by a variety of traditions, cultures and heritage. It also shows the growing up of a daughter, where she finally starts to loosen some of the strings holding her to her family, and starts to live her own life, her own adventure.
