Patrick Dempsey stars well as teenager actor, reach in stardom on Loverboy and aftermaths made fine comedies, Helen Slater follow the same steps after shinning in The Legend of Billy Jean became an upcoming star by her undeniable beauty, making several movies hereinafter nonetheless both grow up and the magic is done, thus they headed to TV-series for good and which remained together, what a waste.
On auspicious Happy Together that flopped wretchedly due the lack of chemistry over such distinct couple, Dempsey wasn't the heartthrob properly speaking, instead Helen Slater fits in in this beauty standard, thus the skinny boy was miscasting for the role, worst the lame screenplay impose a dull and excentric affair may laying down the epicenter of the failure, a tiresome offer that never gets fire, a weird supporting casting also didn't help to much, whoever wrote it wasn't inspired whatsoever.
Somehow both in short time starting down the hill, end up working on countless shows, it's a pity indeed, Patrick Dempsey should carry on stereotyped character as weak-coward guy that often got in trouble in funny situations, in other hand the gorgeous Helen Slater should be exploited as sexy girl in romantic pictures or mature characters, whatever they made some noise on the eighties and early nineties.
