The soundtrack was fitting and direction fluid to keep things even. Joe Pesci is an underrated actor who can do drama's and comedies. Evidently, he showed his range here and Frasier seems to have done well. It's minor faults were the unnecessary background characters, length and lack of romantic angle between Monty and Courtney. …
