CGiii Comment
It's oh-so sickly sweet and stupid - a blond Moore with a southern drawl and a storyline that would only appeal to little girls in tutus.
There are lesbians and drag queens to make it politically correct (Hollywood-style) - but, it is as insipid as a fox in a hen house.
Of no value at all.

The(ir) Blurb...
A clairvoyant thinks she's met her husband to be because she's seen him in her dreams. They marry quickly, and return to the husband's ("the butcher"), home in the city. She has a big impact on everyone she meets by anticipating their questions and actions and advising them on their love life. Her interference then brings her into contact with the real man of her dreams.
