One of my all time favorites.

not as good as all the hype

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Okay I wanted to like this movie but it was just so convoluted. I didn't buy the non real dead broke father taking care of the baby that wasn't his(supposebly). The hot shot beautiful lawyer being oblivious and sympathetic. The Pair of the daughter and father weren't that charming and the life they were living was a total disaster. What I did like about James Character was that he straight to the point and told her the truth and wanted to leave. He did care about his daughter but not much I feel because of the disastrous life they were living pointed out by the lawyer( Lynch). I don't believe the lawyer would be able to pull such strings on the one case she was mishandling and black mail the husband of the divorce. The ending was very sudden and didn't really get to the honest part. How would the family work if you can call it that. I get that the movie is suppose to be a romantic comedy but it touches upon a sad reality that is quite common, and in that I don't see the laughing matter.

Bill Dancer (Jim Belushi) and Curly Sue are homeless drifters running little scams to get by day to day. He has been taking care of her since her mother left her as a baby. Grey Ellison (Kelly Lynch) is a driven divorce lawyer. Bill pretends to get run over by Grey and she gives them a meal. Her cold-hearted fiancée Walker McCormick stops her from doing more despite her falling for little Curly Sue. Later, she actually truly hits him with her car. The two stays at her apartment as the trio grows closer together.Not everything is gold when it comes to John Hughes. Sometimes the formula is too formulaic. I'm good with the sugary sweet little girl. The slapstick is way too much. It's trying desperately to be Curly Sue's namesake. It's almost schizophrenic as it goes from the silliest slapstick to the most emotionally manipulative tear jerker. While I buy Grey's love for Curly, it's hard to buy the same for Grey and Bill. This needs more reality and less formula. It need less silliness and Bill should probably leave at the end.

With all thats going on in the world sometimes we need an escape. Curly Sue is just that. Not a complicated plot or deep meaning; however it is not devoid of substance. There is more than furious action or heart pounding dramas. There are the charming little shows you can watch with your kids and have enough substance to enjoy with your date. Try it you may like it more than you think. The little girl is really smart and cute. The "Dad" and the girl go thru some slapstick routines. When a jealous boyfriend steps in, trouble brews for Curly and the life shes known may be torn asunder. Fred Thompson and Kelly Lynch play good roles as the upper crust and Alison Porter and James Belushi are a interesting fable like duo portraying street wise homeless drifters. Their worlds collide and comedy ensues.

I have to agree with Cal-37 it's a great movie, specially for the family, Kelly Linch is beautiful, the little girl is really talented and cute, of course Jim Belushi has earned his strips! But want I really liked was the piano song, if you're a musician or not watch this movie just for that, you'll know which it is."You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You" Written by Russ Morgan, Larry Stock, and James CavanaughSo have fun watchingSee ya,Nelson
