It's a "fun" movie (at least for me it was) about the misadventures of a young man while staying with the eccentric family of who he thinks is his girl... I enjoyed it VERY much and snapped it up when it was finally released to DVD...

I too have waited a long time for a DVD copy. I haven't bought it yet, but will do so in a few minutes.

I have shown this film to many friends over the years and, interestingly, it is always the men who responded to it most positively. The women liked it, but were not wowed the way the men were.

I think it speaks to the young man that each of us were. Trying to impress the girl, failing, impressing the wrong girl, failing, finding the true nature of love (if we're lucky) beyond the physical.

Great music, great acting, touching in so many ways. It's more than worth a look.

SOME GIRLS is a real curio. The reason why I purchased it was for the talented Oscar-winners, Jennifer Connelly and Lila Kedrova. I remember when I first saw this film on cable. It wasn't a great film, but the cast (especially the wonderful Kedrova as Connelly's grandmother) kept it interesting. Connelly's family is definitely interesting all right. Only recommended for fans of Patrick Dempsey or the beautiful Connelly.

This film looks like they forgot to turn the lights on when they were filming. Except for the hospital scenes, everything - even the outdoors scenes - are badly lit.

The whole idea of the film is really unappealing. There is a lot of male nudity, with the private parts mostly covered, but one scene with Patrick Dempsey showing it all revealing his shortcomings (thank you David Neven).

SPOILER: The ghost of the grandmother in the cemetary is really dumb.

If You're planning on buying this DVD for *the* scene of Patrick Dempsey's private bits, don't waste Your money.
I'd been waiting years for a DVD release of this great film, in the hopes that I'd get to see what was missing on the sides of my full-frame VHS copy. What I got instead was a "matted" widescreen, which is basically that full-frame version with the top & bottom lopped off (thus cropping out Patrick's flash).
MGM really dropped the ball on this one. They should have included both the matted widescreen version AND the full-frame version like they did with the sci-fi flick "Supernova" (it'd easily fit - there are no extras on the 90 min. disc anyway).
