"Forget Leonard Maltin! He's whacked out! This is one seriously wonderful underrated film! The movie has a delightfully unusual premise and some truly original writing, among other positive traits the score of the film can only be described as irresistibly lovable. The film brings the phrase quirky love comedy to new heights. It should be praised for it characters alone, first and foremost Debra Winger's energetic, nymphomaniac, music loving, green wearing, accidentally arsonistic character of Vida. Mixed with elements of Unresolved loved Sibling rivalry, childhood trauma, Acapela singing firemen, and a whole lot of Carnies, and you've got a plot that expertly combines heart rending drama and touching romance, with a healthy dose of lovably bizarre comedy. All of these things more than make up for an occasionally slow film. This film is definitely worth seeing for any self-respecting open-minded film buff."
So bizarre it's fun!

"This movie stars Dennis Quade, Arliss Howard and Debra Winger. Debra Winger is married to one of two brothers who share an unusual ability, the ability to start fires. Of course the movie starts out with Winger under house arrest for arson and only gets better from then on.
From chorusing firemen to twisted carnival clowns and look out for Jim Varney to be part of the action too."
Off-beat and a REAL hoot!

"Two brothers have fire-starting capabilities; one chooses to live as normal a life as possible while the other chooses the field of entertainment to showcase his fire-starting talents. Things "heat up" when the circus comes to town and brings the brothers back together and they once again compete for the charms of the same woman. Clever story and Dennis Quaid's dancing to "She's A Lady" is not to be missed!"
This is a Must See Movie!!!!!!!!

"I feel sorry for Lenard Maltin that he couldn't see the wonderful intertainment in this film. My wife and I saw it a few years ago and had to make it a part of our perminent collection!
Anyone who doesn't see the genius in this film has no depth.
We are 50 something and don't understand why Lenard pulled a thumbs down.
Do yourself a favor and get his movie! Everytime you watch it it reviels something new.
The singing firemen were the icing on the cake!!!"
Hilarious, Cracked me up!

"Such great characters! I really got a kick out of Arliss Howard and Debra Winger in this movie. I don't normally like Dennis Quaid, but I thought he was perfect for this. It's just so... strange. Unconventional, maybe, is a better word. People have called it quirky. It's just plain hilarious, a riot. Good fun! I highly recommend it. It's a shame it's so hard to find."
