Kiss Me Goodbye (1982)

I thought Sally Field and Jeff Bridges couldn’t make for a bad film together. I was wrong. This is a stinker. Sally is a widow preparing to marry Jeff and move back in to the home she shared with her previous husband. Unfortunately, that husband, James Caan, is haunting the house. Caan is an annoying, unbelievably cast showman named Jolly who takes to tap dancing randomly around Field and Bridges’s courting. Bridges is all stuffy as an museum Egyptologist and given little to do. Field is the most reasonably cast, but has no chemistry with Caan and not given enough chance to gel with Bridges. The film picks up when Jeff pretends to see his own former lover and has a colleague perform an exorcism, but I was already too annoyed by the first half of the film to care.  Romance
