...Sylvester Stallone, 39, married Nielsen, 22, in a private civil ceremony attended by 30 close friends and relatives at the Beverly Hills home of Producer Irwin Winkler. It was the second time down the aisle for both bride and bridegroom, who afterward treated 150 or so guests, including John Travolta, Donna Summer and Bruce Jenner, to a sit-down dinner, followed by dancing to Righteous Brothers' songs performed by Bill Medley. After a twirl on the dance floor that left guests mesmerized, the couple dashed off for a one-day honeymoon at a Los Angeles hotel. Next morning...

Short answer: Are you kidding? Long answer: Check out the movie imperfectly titled Perfect, in which John Travolta is, as usual, miscast, this time as the journalist; Jamie Lee Curtis is rendered grim by the unaccustomed effort of thought; and Director James Bridges (who wrote the script with Aaron Latham) proves he has no rhythm. As a concept in search of a plot, the picture will infuriate those who come...
