During her 25th high school class reunion, middle-aged
Peggy Sue (
Kathleen Turner) tries to forget her marital problems with husband
Charlie (
Nicolas Cage) by renewing old friendships. Wondering if she made the right decisions in her life,
Peggy Sue gets a chance to try again when, zapped into a time warp, she finds herself a teenager back in 1960. Armed with foreknowledge (the scene in which she tells off her algebra teacher is a particular treat),
Peggy Sue gets to retrace the steps leading up to her unhappy marriage to high-school sweetheart
Charlie. Will nerdish
Richard Norvik (
Barry Miller), who always carried a torch for
Peggy Sue and whom she knows will become a millionaire computer mogul by 1985, win out over the unreliable
Charlie this time? A "small" film from the otherwise profligate
Francis Ford Coppola,
Peggy Sue Got Married possesses an irresistible charm that makes up for its glaring plot deficiencies. The youthful cast is matched in its appeal by such veterans as
Leon Ames,
Maureen O'Sullivan and
John Carradine. And yes, that
is Jim Carrey as
Walter Getz.
