...matter what era you encounter her in. But nothing quite accounts for this silly movie's surprise success. The idea of having but one life to lead has always been a bummer, but never more than it is for today's health-conscious audience. Movies like this one (and Ghost) suggest that working out and eating right are not in vain. If they can't assure immortality, they may at least keep you fit for the second go-around...
Katzenberg had numbers, not just frustration, to back him up. The top three hits of 1990 had been Home Alone, Ghost and Pretty Woman, with nary a bankable star (though Pretty Woman turned Roberts into one). They were simple tales about people who change: the old stuff of drama, and of Hollywood in the decades when its tinsel glistened like gold.

But bad pictures as well as good feed the pop-cultural zeitgeist (cf., Fatal Attraction, Pretty Woman, Ghost). And Warshawski shows Hollywood once again scrounging to resolve a lingering dilemma: how to get women into the summer-movie mainstream...
Nobody has a life anymore, Hollywood tells us, only an afterlife. By now you are familiar with all those transcendental rehab movies -- Ghost and its spectrally sentimental cousins -- in which people return from the void to get a chance to say (What else?) "I love you." Audiences lose themselves in a teary mixture of awe and awww at these wistful fantasies, which now constitute an entire genre: sigh...
