In this romantic comedy, recovering chemotherapy patient and cartoonist Gus Kubicek (
Steve Guttenberg) is made over into every woman's fantasy man by his romance-novelist sister, Lizzie (
Shelley Long). As Gus succeeds in sweeping the attractive reporter Emily Pear (
Jami Gertz) off her feet, he must struggle with his desire to tell her the truth about who he really is and his fear of rejection. ~ Iotis Erlewine, All Movie Guide
