One of my childhood favourites Now and Then follows the story of four girls who made a pact years ago to be there for each other for the important stuff no matter what. The story opens with Chrissy (Rita Wilson) heavily pregnant with her first child and due to go into labour any day. If you think that is scary enough, check out her pregnancy look. Yowsers, the floral dress and hair, oh my.

Topics that will always be relevant to someone somewhere in the world.
Unless you’re a robot or some kind of sociopath missing a heart. No judgement if you are. You just might want to watch a different movie. Continue reading “Flashback Friday: Permanent Record (1988)”
