Topic: Video Capsule: Frankie & Johnny (8/10) Forum: JoBlo

"Frankie And Johnny" is a romance-drama-comedy that stars Al Pacino as Johnny the cook and Michelle Pheiffer as Frankie the waitress. The two main stars were good in their parts but you have Johnny continuously pushing a romance and broken-winged Frankie continuously pulling away from the romance and after a while it gets a little tiring towards the end of the film. Thank goodness director Garry Marshall inserted a talented cast of supporting players that served up some funny comedy. That scene with Kate Nelligan in bed with spike heels was a riot and the scene where Kate and Michelle were trying to get Jane Morris to say a dirty word was also a riot. I got a big kick out of Nathan Lane and his funny one liners and liked Hector Elizondo as the kind hearted Greek cafe owner. Frankie and Johnny were a little too morose for my tastes, but the sparkling supporting cast made the film a joy to watch.
