While Randy is home during the summer break, Joe, against Diane's wishes, decides not to fund Randy's college education anymore as he is flunking all his classes, and hasn't yet declared a major. Not knowing what to do besides try to get back to college if only to be with Jenny, Randy gets a minimum wage job as a delivery guy at a pizza joint. During the course of his job, he meets Alex Barnett, a beautiful, older, sophisticated woman who likes pizzas with extra anchovies.

Misunderstandings Galore: A star-filled episode of Three's Company

What a surprise! (The cast, not the quality of this movie.) It was worth watching if only to see Vic Tabac, Kirstie Alley, Kate Jackson, Carrie Fisher, and yes, I think that was Lisa Kudrow. It's more than a coincidence many of the stars are famous for slapstick sitcom humor. All it needed was Susanne Sommers to nearly duplicate a PG-13 episode of Threes Company, with misunderstandings piling up like a string of accidents during rush hour on the Long Island Expressway. In short, a movie deserving a score of 4 brought up to a 6 by the star-filled cast.
