Trivia
The picture's main movie poster featured palm trees and a "Beverly Hills" sign which was typical of a number of Hollywood comedies set there during the 1980s after the box-office success of Beverly Hills Cop (1984). Other such 80s movies with posters with such signs and/or palm trees included Troop Beverly Hills (1989) and Down and Out in Beverly Hills (1986). See more »Quotes
Donald Becker: [to Laura] I love you passionately. From the first moment we met, I knew I aroused a powerful emotion in you. It was disgust, but I can build on that.See more »

I wasn't expecting much from this movie to be honest, it was on late night television and only stayed to watch it because I couldn't sleep, but I found it funny, original and it has a great cast. This is one of those lost eighties comedies which more people should see. Dan Aykroyd is especially brilliant giving his usual mad perfomance! See it if you can...
