The teaming of Goldie Hawn and Steve Martin might sound great on paper but has failed twice in movies.
This remake of the Neil Simon comedy has Hawn playing Nancy Clark as a sexualy frustrated housewife. Martin plays Henry an uptight and out of work advertising executive who needs to go to New York for a job interview.
Nancy joins Henry on his flight from Ohio as a surprise but trouble ensues when the plane is diverted to Boston. The couple need to get to New York in a rental car which has heating they cannot operate, they get mugged, they cannot check into the hotel as their credit card is overdrawn, find out that their daughter has dropped out of college, get kidnapped in a getaway car, Henry gets arrested for sleeping rough, has an acid tablet thinking it was aspiring in his police cell and other unfunny shenanigans.
John Cleese plays Basil Fawlty lite with a penchant for women's clothing.
There were one or two mild laughs but it really is a tepid, unfunny, banal farce.
