Sobre este filme

Ernie Souchak (John Belushi) is a celebrated Chicago Sun-Times columnist famous for his blistering political exposes. While his controversial reporting has earned him the respect of his editor, Howard McDermott (Allen Goorwitz) and the admiration of a legion of fans, it also earns him a trip to the hospital following a run-in with some disgruntled thugs. Suggesting he leave the city for a while, McDermott sends Ernie to the Rockies to interview renowned ornithologist Nell Porter (Blair Brown) who studies the habits of the endangered American bald eagle. It's a case of loathe at first sight when the chain smoking, big city Souchak meets the reclusive nature-lover Porter! But despite their differences, Souchak's trip west soon turns into a fun-filled romantic adventure as these two trek through the mountains at the top of the world along the Continental Divide!

this movie is probably one of few times you get to see john belushi sober on screen right before he died. it's also a sad reminder that he could have done so many great things in his career if he hadn't cut it short so prematurely. i love this film because it's just a cute story overall and well acted. i watch it just about every week! (i'm also in love with JB. haha)

I would have to say this is John Belushi's best movie. It showed that he was a talented actor. If you haven't seen it, You should.
