Something Short of Paradise
1979 · Movie · PG · 91 min · ★ 3.8
When Harris and Madeleine meet...it’s hardly love at first sight. They have little in common – she thinks he’s too clingy, and he thinks she’s too uptight. But it’s not hard to see that they’re made for each other...if only they could see it too!
