Post for anyone who saw it: what'd you think of love, honor and obey?

Soo.. what did everyone think of it? I thought it was pretty good.. (of course, here on the east coast it was on at 3, and by 2:15 I couldn't think I could stand 45 more minutes!)... any other opinions? nancy was great!

------------------
tootie: my grade? how 'bout we keep it between you and me? (sticks her poem down her shirt) nobody'll ever find it here!

Natalie: A D-? But that's below my favorite C level!!

Jo: You're born, you grow some, you die. That's life.

natalie: if shes so smart she can type the whole damn thing!

nancy: how about something to make you cold, hot stuff?

Thumbs up

I thought that the movie itself was good, but with Nancy in it, it was of course even better! I thought that she was great!

I saw it, and liked it a lot. It showed a whole different range in Nancy's abilities as an actress. I also thought she looked very nice in the wedding dress. Eric Roberts was really good in it too. LOL...i didn't think I would be able to watch the whole thing, but I did!

Now I REALLY can't wait to see The Division.

OH BTW, now I know where Nancy's nick name came from, she cried like every five minutes in that movie! Very believable, and I had never seen her cry on FOL, so this is new to me.

I thought it was too long. It was good though. It was wierd though watching all those kinky scenes. I kept thinkin "Jo wadaya doing?!" but it was refreshing seeing Nancy in such a different role though.

It's been years since I've seen this movie but I do know that Eric Roberts was interviewed for Nancy's 'Intimate Portrait.'

Tootie: Muffy? Her name is Muffy? What kind of person is named Muffy?

Jo: Beats me, Tootie.

Nancy was great. I didn't see this when it originally aired, and I've never been a TV Movie fan, but I must say it was a pleasant surprise.

BTW, what network did this originally air on? I know it aired in 1993.

Stanley Roper: I'm sorry Jack

Jack Tripper: Oh, thats ok, what did you do?

Roper: Me? Nothing, I just thought I saw something that wasnt normal, because it was normal, but, now I can see it aint normal, so, everything's back to normal again.

Jack: oh, well, I'm glad for you.

For those of you big 80's sitcom buffs, did you notice that the son that got married at the end of the movie was one of Valerie Harper's sons on "Valerie/The Hogan Family?" I can't remember his name, but I was a little surprised.

yea that was Danny Ponce. Atfirst I didnt recognize him bcuz of his weight gain but then I kept staring at him and hearing him talk and I was convinced. He didnt have all that many lines though. Geez, he looked so different.

I enjoyed the movie and Nancy in it. I thought she showed great range in her acting ability and now know where she got the nickname "faucet face". I mus admit though, when she cried or got pushed around by that guy I was waiting for 'Jo' to come out and tell him off! Oh well, Nancy was superb and all in all I realy enjoyed the movie!
Can't wait until the 'Intimate Portrait' or "The Division".
