Doesn't worth its time

The script is not to blame, it's evident both the director and the cast are former porno movies staff. Some decent acting and better direction would've raised this movie to 6-7. Rebecca Lynn hasn't much more to show than her nudity, there's no way you can believe her arguing with Blake Bahner. The scenery looks more 70's than 80's by the way. The immigration couple aren't funny as they pretend, too much overacting. If you're going to rent this movie, think it twice. Actors' or directors' fans aside, it's definitely a time-waster. Better keep it in the garbage, with the lottery ticket Jenny and Brian are looking for. **** out of 10

They try too hard

I bought this DVD on ebay very cheaply and I still think I was overcharged. This tries to be a romantic comedy but the cast look to be porn actors who are trying to prove that they can act - and failing miserably. The theme of the film in which a lottery ticket is split between two people was done much better in, It could Happen To You (1994), and the idea of two people having to convince the authorities of the validity of a marriage was done much better in Green Card (1990).

This follows the well-trodden path of rom-coms with boy meets girl; boy loses girl; boy wins girl in the end. This goes on for too long with the added scenario of the marriage and the inevitable will they, won't they share the marital bed? The cast simply try too hard and so nothing is convincing. Even the nudity scenes are pretty boring; and the close-up of two tongues entwining does nothing for me. Sorry folks, only two stars.
