Bette Midler's a lounge singer in Reno who plots to kill her abusive boyfriend with the help of a hunky card-dealer, leading to wacky scavenger hunt for the man's hidden loot. Takes a long time to get cooking, but there are some big laughs in this comedy, mostly due to Midler's hamming and wicked throwaway lines("Talk to my a**, my head's had enough!"). Ken Wahl is a tepid stud, but Rip Torn is a hoot as Midler's scummy roommate. Overall, not bad! **1/2 out of ****.
