Review of Once Around

Once Around (1991)
Dreyfuss and Hallström on his best
24 December 1998
I don't agree with whom esteem "Once around" nothing. "Once" is a good movie owing to director Hallström ("Gilbert Grape") and stars like Richard Dreyfuss ("The Goodbye Girl"), Danny Aiello ("City Hall") and Gina Rowlands ("Something To Talk About").

Writer Maria Scotch Marmo tells a story about a young woman, Renata (Holly Hunter is on his worst) who falls in love with a contradictary personality called Sam Sharp (Dreyfuss). Sharp is a rich and successful agent who has an ability to persuade everybody to love him except Renata's father, the newly retired Joe Bella (Aiello). But at the end Hallström makes his character closer to each other and the viewers.

So this is not a well-known romantic comedy/drama but you gotta get it in some cable program. The only vulnerable point of "Once" is the lead character Holly Hunter herself. But the names above compensate us for her.
