Lucy (Roseanna Arquette) works in a very upscale NYC restaurant but longs to be a magician. Monte (David Bowie) is a new bartender at the same eatery and dreams of marrying an American. The restaurant is scathingly successful and the owners are tres wealthy. Can Lucy and/or Monte get their hands on some of the dough? Is this before or after a romance begins? This wonderful movie is quirky and cute, with the two stars delighting the audience at every moment. The script is stroke of genius, very awe-inspiring. Then, too, the sets and the costumes are great while the supporting cast is a dream. The scene involving toasted marshmallows is recommended here enthusiastically. In short, plan for one of life's great evenings....rent this film and eat delicious take-out linguini between giggles.
