The movie reviewer for the Baltimore Sun called it "An Officer and a Gentleman Lite."
I'm torn because I would kind of like to see it but Mr. KR says no way in he**. So I guess I'll wait 'til it's on Netflix.
I think it'd be really distracting for anyone familiar with the Yard to watch scenes that are supposed to depict, say, Memorial Hall, and it's not Memorial Hall at all but some stand-in building in Philadelphia. Kind of like in Flashdance when they showed Jennifer Beals' character taking the incline to get from downtown to the South Side. Sorry, I'm rambling...

I guess there are people out there who think I had triplets when I was a preteen
