A funny late 80s romp, 29 April 2009
7/10
Author: SillyPuddy from The OC

Movies like this really put me in a good mood (if I'm not in one already) and are just effortlessly entertaining. Reminds me of other late 80s comedies of this sort like A Fine Mess and Skin Deep. The key is the cast makes it all look so easy. They are all very good comedic actors which helps. As the misunderstandings pile up, so do the awkward physical antics of Dempsey. This is in fact the only thing that I think took away from the abundant charm of this movie. He was in my opinion too over the top with his physical acting. I'm referring some of the scenes where his stunts were not necessary like the lawn chair scene by the pool???? Then he returns to the restaurant looking for Jen and he vaults off the counter. It was funny when the Japanese woman threw him but enough already! Its too cartoonish and forced. The director took too many liberties here and took away from what could of been much better comedy.
