Crazy From the Heart (VHS, 1992)

I first saw this movie on television, around 1992-93, and I suspect it was a made-for-television movie originally. It is so funny and well-done; I was thrilled to find that I could get it, although it is only available on VHS and not on DVD. Well worth cranking up the old VHS player--makes you laugh out loud throughout.

I bought it with my brother for mom's birthday. She loves that movie and it's out of print. Thanks for helping us get it for her. Using Paypal is always tough for me. For some reason I have never been able to make it work. It is a huge struggle for me. My brother has never had problems with the site, but I have. He was as confused as I was by it all. He tried to make my account work properly and couldn't do it either. It was good to finally get the film though. Thanks again for that.

I do wish more ebay sellers would accept checks or make it where people could just put in a credit card number and have it be good to go. With all the paypal problems I've experienced, it makes it where whenever I see the paypal logo, it only represents one more thing I can't get due to technical problems. I even told the paypal site that I wouldn't recommend it to my enemies let alone friends. Ah well, there it is. I don't use ebay too much since most people use that horrid site for some reason. I have great credit and don't understand why it is problematic for me.

The movie itself is good and came quickly. We had it in time for mom's birthday and she was quite happy. I guess that made it all worth the hassle.

This is a movie to touch any woman's heart! A school principal, trying her best with what life has handed her in a small Texas town, perpetually understood-to-be-engaged to the uncommitting high school sports coach meets a charming, self-effacing, sincere, temporary janitor in her school. She accepts a date with him, Ernesto Antiverras, and it turns into a wild and joy-filled weekend - and they spontaneously decide to get married! Upon return home to their respective worried families, she now must decide - continue on with her expected path in life, which has little joy and spontaneity, or to plunge headlong into a choice for which she may face the town's recriminations. Lovely dilemma - and the heartfelt and romantic character of Ernesto (Reuben Blades) will leave any woman with a heart, just swoooooning. This is a terrific movie. It is of the same genre as "The Good-Bye Girl" with a remarkably funny and spirited plotline. Wonderful!
