...Goal of the Week: Not taking dramatics into account (Mike Vukonich's last-second goal would take the honor, hands down), this week's award goes to Tim Burke for his "I-can't-believe-that-was-a-goal" goal in the second period...

You can take or leave the implication that all marriages (and all divorces) may have that as their ultimate goal. But it would be wrong to ignore a film that blends incautious comedy and cautionary morality so expertly...
