Swing Shift

Was hoping for an oldie-but-goodie, but instead got a not-so-goodie.  This 1984 film stars Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn in what I thought was going to be a light-hearted comedy (a la Overboard) but instead was rather slow and everything about it was just kind of sad.  There is cheating, back-stabbing, war, and loads of sexist woman-get-in-the-kitchen-and-cook type of crap.  I mean, it is set in the 1940s, but still!  You don't really end up liking anyone in this movie, which is hard when you have such a likable couple as Hawn and Russell, and just goes to show what an unfortunate movie this is.
