I really did love this ridiculous love story back in the day. Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise, real-life spouses at the time, star as star-crossed lovers trying to find their way to the new America.
This film is melodramatic and entirely self-serious, but you can see a certain sparkle in Kidman that will later turn her into...
