Holiday, everyone? What up?
Well, some movies can be your best partner ever. And now, I bring an 80’s romantic-comedy
movie starred by Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russel. Check out and beware of spoilers!
It started when Joanne Stayton (Goldie Hawn) –a rich (virgin) wife - who
was spoilt, arrogant, and childish called a carpenter to remodel her closet.
And here he came, a carpenter named Dean Proffitt (Kurt Russel), an immature man with 4 kiddos whose wife died 3 years ago.
Disappointed of Dean’s work, Joanne refused to pay him and let him go without any
fees.

Joanne Stayton |
The conflict started here, where suddenly Joanne left her wedding ring on the
deck. She wanted to take it but unfortunately she dripped to the sea, and.. had
an amnesic. Her news was even on TV *lol*. Knowing her wife didn’t recollect her
remembrance, Mr. Stayton pretended that he didn’t recognize her and left her
alone in hospital.

"The bitch!" |
On the other side, Dean who previously annoyed of Joanne’s selfishness,
planned an evil thing : made Joanne to be his housekeeper and a babysitter for
his sons. *double lol*. So he went to the hospital, convinced the doctor that
Joanne was his wife (lol, he said her maiden name was Annie Golihy, WHAT A
LIAR!) and told that they had been
married for 13 years. Joanne denied at first and asked for a proof. And that
proof was her strawberry-like birthmark on her left ass. Voila! Dean took ‘his
wife’, Annie, back home.

'Annie Proffit' |
Day by day, Annie spent her time to handle the house hold, fix the homework,
babysit ‘her’ kids, and take care of their school matter. Day by day too, Dean
started to fell in love with her...

Proffitt's guys : Travis, Joey, Charlie, and Greg |

"You shot chicken?" |
The couple played the role as if there’s no fake. And Annie magically
believed every single word Dean told.
Until one day, Mr. Stayton came to their
house and suddenly her memories jogged. Dean, who had fallen for her, finally said
that all the things he told before were lies : both her name and their marriage.
Realizing the fact, Annie Joanne decided to back to her rich life, leaving Dean
and the kids behind.
Back to her life, didn’t mean blissful for her. Instead, she felt so
lonely. Everybody in her family was so freaky busy with their owns. She admitted
that she missed Dean right after her own husband told the truth that he left her on the hospital.
Long story short, Dean and the kids, who had regarded Annie as their own family, fortunately run
for her by the sea. And fate brought them together. Forever and after.
This movie is quite entertaining with an easy plot.
No need to think hard, it's a comedy after all.
I love how the romance emerged between 2 of them and I think this film is a good choice for your holiday.
