This was a good little story and Costner & Company had an affable. light touch. I disagree about Winningham's performance however. You may say her presence in the plot wasn't needed (it was not critical), but she delivered it very well for such a short of amount of screen time. Compare that to Nana Visitor's brief scene as Hopper's conscience. You began to understand Costner's character and situation better after "meeting the wife". Judge Rheingold's performance was quirky if only because it didn't seem like him. I watched the movie yesterday and come pretty much down at the same place.
