Dizzybint - Fresh Horses

Fresh Horses

Andrew McCarthy (again!) Plays Matt, a rich kid who is about to marry a crushing bore for no other reason than to make some money for the family. While settling into this idea he meets Jewel (Molly Ringwald), a poor-white-trash country girl with a modest southern twang and enough domestic problems to land her on a week's worth of guest shots on Jerry Springer.

Molly Ringwald is so wounded that I didn't want her to get married as much I wanted to see her get some therapy. Andrew McCarthy (fine!) who plays matt seems misplaced in this role, but for all the people who love pretty in pink...this is a must see film. It is an adult version of Pretty In Pink. He's more classy than her, she knows who she is and he has to learn to be worthy of her, not the other way around. The story is similiar, but with sexual themes. The Kentucky scenery and the sets of this film are beautiful.

This was also one of Ben Stiller's first roles as Matt's best friend Tipton.
This film is unfortunately not available in Britain on DVD but you can look on E Bay, where they have old video store copies. It is available on region 1 DVD.
