Sweet Hearts Dance (1988)

Somewhere in a Vermont town where it never snows (despite that everything takes place during the prime winter months), JEFF DANIELS helps his best-friend-since-high-school DON JOHNSON out of the thin ice he metaphorically and literally fell into.

DON JOHNSON
I hate being married with three kids! I’m so unhappy, despite that my misery appears unfounded and random. Whatevs—I’ll still take everything out on my wife SUSAN SARANDON and the rest of my family anyway.

JEFF DANIELS
Fine, but don’t forget to finish building the high school’s gym before Valentine’s Day, ol’ buddy! Meanwhile, I’ll go propose marriage to frosty ELIZABETH PERKINS, whom I’ve known for about a day.

ELIZABETH PERKINS
You do that. In turn, I’ll passively-aggressively flirt with you and tell unfunny jokes that fail to give my personality any warmth.

JEFF DANIELS
And I’ll love you all the same.

SUSAN SARANDON
I’m much too talented to be in this movie.

Three months of the characters’ annoying, childish behavior and game playing pass. They all even manage to make a trip to the Caribbean suck. DAN JOHNSON goes to his house.

DAN JOHNSON
I’m a fool. Take me back, SUSAN!

SUSAN SARANDON
Only if you promise to work on our relationship with me. And I know how we can start doing just that.

DAN JOHNSON and SUSAN SARANDON drive JEFF DANIELS’ sports car into the (unfrozen) lake and giggle. Fin.
