Editorial Review:
When a 16-year-old aspiring photographer pursues a beautiful older woman of 22 in a big way! This scintillating romantic comedy stars Jon Cryer (Pretty In Pink) and Demi Moore (Ghost A Few Good Men) as the unlikely lovers who teach each other a thing or two about life. When Charles Cummings (Cryer) sees a down-on-her-luck rock singer Laura Victor (Moore) through his camera lens he immediately falls head over heels in love. Soon Charles is wagering an all-out campaign to boost Laura s career and win her heart including plastering her face on every taxi in San Francisco as a promotional gimmick. As the two of them help each other come of age a lasting bond of friendship develops. For big laughs and great romance it s No Small Affair.System Requirements:Running Time: 102 Min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY Rating: R UPC: 043396046283 Manufacturer No: 04628
Description of No Small Affair:
Jon "I'm Not Matthew Broderick!" Cryer had what appeared to be a breakthrough role in this diverting but inconsequential romantic comedy. (Still, once you've broken through, you need to follow up, something Cryer didn't manage.) In fact, it proved to be more of a springboard for its other star, a then-little-known soap-opera star named Demi Moore. Cryer plays a high-school photographer with a colossal crush on a budding female rock star (Moore). She thinks he's cute--like a puppy--but he thinks her interest indicates the kind of romantic longing only a teenage boy would fantasize about with an older woman. Still, when her love life tanks, this eager beaver is there to console her, thoroughly misreading her intentions. What wit this film has springs from Cryer's kinetic, fast-talking performance as the kind of perpetually wise-cracking kid that was Broderick's stock-in-trade at that point. Otherwise, it's the kind of story only an adolescent male would find believable and moving. --Marshall Fine
No Small Affair Reviews:
No small affair 
2008-03-24 - This movie is a bit of a guilty pleasure, silly 80's costumes and all. I especially enjoy Jon Cryer's "coming of age" portrayal. He's true to his love of photography, tolerates his crazy family with wry humor, and follows his own path. But when that path intersects with Demi Moore, his well-intentioned attempts to win her favor are classic. Formulaic or not, he and Demi bring a charm to the movie that makes it a personal favorite over and above some of the more well-known 80's hits by the Brat Pack.
No Small Cab Fare
2007-09-04 - I must admit I'm a Cryer fan. I loved him in "Pretty in Pink" and "Hiding Out". This movie was a major intro for him and he does a fine job portraying a teen that falls in love with an older woman. As he photographs the scenic city of San Francisco some people won't get out of his Ansel Adams type pictures. Lucky for him as one of them turns out to be the gorgeous young Demi Moore. When he meets her and finds out she has a husky singing voice he falls in love and ends up spending lots of money to make sure she becomes well known. A fun romantic comedy that everyone should see at least once. I bought the DVD and the quality is good but it is overpriced since it doesn't contain any extras.
MASTER OF The Rare Romantic Laserdiscs 
2005-06-23 - 'Tis One OF My Favorite Comedy/Romantic Movies,I have it on LASER DISC And I have The DVD as well :)
My Funny Valentine 
2005-04-24 - This movie wasn't bad for an 80's teen comedy and nearly the entire cast ended up becoming "brand name" actors but my favorite part of this movie was also the scene where Laura sings "My Funny Valentine"...the voice belongs to Chrissy Faith. She is great and is grammy nominated and a world reknowned session singer for Cyndi Lauper and many others. I believe she is much better than a lot of the "Divas" we hear on the radio now like that boring Mariah Carey and mediocre Beyonce Knowles and chicks like Britney who doesn't even have a voice.
No Small Affair
2005-04-16 - What I really like about this movie is the singing of the classic tunes, "My Funny Valentine", to be specific. I would like to know who is the singer, and if there is a soundtrack available from this movie ??
