Breezy is a wide-eyed and free-spirited young woman and Frank is a cynical middle-aged divorcee. These two meet by chance and end in a relationship that defies everybody's expectations, most of all Frank's. Clint Eastwood's third film behind the camera is the first one not to feature him in front of it. This is an unexpectedly sweet and funny love story between a hippy and a square. The dialogue and the central performances are great, and the adorably care-free Breezy must be one of the most likeable characters to have graced the screen.
