[@raymondsalmon7009]

Emily I know this has been asked before, but what is your fascination with titties?

[@JustSUMMReactions]

They're just, you know... great!!! And an unexpected titty (or 2 😉) makes them even greater! I find the female form fabulous and love when it is celebrated and showcased. Boobs are boss. Titties are the tits. Chest-icles are the best-icles. From tig-ole-biddies to mosquito bites, all breasts are lovely in my sight!!! #I❤Titties Cheers! 💖Emily

it's also cuz it's not a ROMANTIC comedy, but a Comedy with Romance. Had it gone full romance-comedy like a lot of other such genre movies I doubt it'd have been as good.

[@fubar1217]

Fun fact: that McDowell's was actually a Wendy's. The address they gave at the church event was the actual address of the Wendy's. After the movie, they had pictures of the cast hung up around the restaurant. Unfortunately, they tore it down a few years ago.

[@maximillianosaben]

Paula Abdul choreographed that dance scene- she was 19 at that time. Amazing.

[@DamonCzanik]

@Necramonium Then that would be more of an issue with the editing. A lot of that could be cut but apparently the director was OK with it. I thought it was fine. It's world building. Looks like Emily felt it was fine too.😏 Different strokes for different folks.

[@nodak81]

Paula is pushing 60 years old dude, she was 26 when the movie came out.

Starting with 1982's 48 HOURS, Eddie Murphy did lots of other projects before 1988's COMING TO AMERICA. In 1983 (while still on Saturday Night Live) he did DELIRIOUS and TRADING PLACES. In 1984 he did BEST DEFENSE and BEVERLY HILLS COP. In 1986 he did THE GOLDEN CHILD. In 1987 he did RAW and BEVERLY HILLS COP 2.
