The Accidental Tourist (1988) Review

The Accidental Tourist refers to a series of books written by character Macon Leary (William Hurt), who helps business travelers to make their travel experience a bit better by giving them tips, such as to take packets of laundry detergent so that they can pack lightly yet still have everything they need at their disposal.

He returns from one of his trips to find his wife is leaving him. A year after their son died, she has decided that she cannot handle it any more and needs to get away. Being essentially destroyed, he simply moves on with his life. He fights for a while and then gives into the advances of a dog trainer who seems interested enough to pursue him (played by Geena Davis).

About Celluloid Heroes

Welcome to Celluloid Heroes! Here you will find movie reviews of all shapes and sizes. No stone is left unturned, and that is meant quite literally. In fact, you are probably quite unlikely to find the best of the best, as that's something that you can find elsewhere. Here you're more likely to find the dregs of the movie world than anything else.

As to the name? It's actually from a song by The Kinks, and while it may or may not have something directly to do with movies, it does mention quite a few movie stars and things that make you think about movies, and well, it just seemed appropriate. Hopefully you'll agree, and if not, I suspect it won't get in the way too much.

Thanks for visiting, enjoy your stay, and come back often..
