Any movie that starts in a wax-fruit factory can't be all bad.

An old-fashioned screwball farce with a few amusing moments, just not enough of them.

I can imagine how this script played funny on stage, given the right cast. However, it just never seems to work on the movie (or rather television) screen.

The cast is uniformly pretty terrible, playing what are already broad situations over the top.

Go with the flow. It gets more and more zany and even hilarious as the night wears on. A happy ending is always good.

I stopped 15 minutes in. The over acting, mugging for the camera, cutesy music. It was going nowhere fast

2007 release (made in 2005): A worker at a wax fruit production plant runs into $5 million when he accidentally switches briefcases with another subway patron. He wants to quit his job and leave the country with his wife, but she isn't so impulsive. A surprise birthday is happening the same night at their home. Several characters populate their home, including a blackmailing undercover cop, another cop investigating the murder of the original possessor of the loaded briefcase, a wannabe comic taxi driver, the wax fruit plant boss, and others, including the actual owners of the $5M. A decent movie concept gives louder and shriller as it goes on, to the point of not caring about anyone. This is brutal. Goes from mildly funny to obnoxious real quickly. Penelope Ann Miller's character (the wife) is eventually unbearable. This plot apparently came from a stage play, hope it worked better there. Sad, because most of the cast is game for this kind of movie. Stars: Chevy Chase, Penelope Ann Miller, Armand Assante, Robert Loggia, Christopher McDonald, and Alex Meneses.

Try as he might, Chevy Chase will never make a movie worse than Nothing But Trouble.

This is quite possibly my favorite Chevy Chase movie. Yes I'm including Three Amigo's, and Christmas Vacation, among others.
