Something Wild (1986)

Genre: Comedy / Romance
Directed by: Jonathan Demme
Starring: Melanie Griffith, Jeff Daniels, Ray Liotta
Running time: 113 minutes

 


Charlie Driggs is yuppie investment banker living a boring life in New York City. Outside a diner, he meets a young woman who calls herself Lulu. She offers him a lift downtown, but they end up going on this crazy and wild weekend adventure together traveling to Pennsylvania, meeting with Lulu’s mother, her high school friends and a dangerous ex-husband.

This remains a fun film that has not aged too badly decades later. The two leads had a good on-screen chemistry and the story is told with talent by the director. Some of the stuff is a little zany or over-the-top, but, all things considered, this is one well worth revisiting.
