Movie Connections:

Referenced in "The King of Queens: Fair Game (#2.16)" (2000)

This movie was terrible.

The plot was stupid and the acting was so bad. Cindy Crawford can absolutely not act. And the movie didn't even have any decent nude scenes. If the people responsible for this movie are going to subject us to such garbage they can at least throw in some decent nudity so that the movie won't be a total loss.
