Southern football coach Nick Nolte reluctantly agrees to travel to New York City to help his sister's psychiatrist, Barbra Streisand, figure out what is behind her latest suicide attempt. He ends up being the one psychoanalyzed instead, eventually revealing the horrible family truth hidden away for so many years. Along the way he falls in love with her. The scene where he finally uncovers the truth is truly moving, the rest is just your typical romantic comedy fluff. Barbra directed herself in some truly embarrassing moments towards the end. George Carlin is terrible as Nolte's gay neighbor.
