Have a second look
Seize the opportunity to have a second or better third look.Try to forget about "Pretty Women".Focus on Joan Cusak appearing as Mag`s friend Peggy Flemming.Oh no, she`s not one of these unattainable goddesses,just a women you met around the corner in your bakery and we are stupid enough to have no second look.But what an actress!Become aware of her,acting this little scene in the baseball stadium,how she establish this mood-swings only with her expressive face,or how she`s using her hands during the dialog in the hairdresser`s shop with Mag (flirting with every man......),and so on and so on...... .She`s wonderful and one of the reasons this movie is worth
