College dropout Richard Dice (Rob Lowe) doesn't have much going for him, so getting selected for jury duty is a welcome respite. When he's selected for a murder trial, Richard discovers, to his shock, that the defendant is none other than Molly Gilbert (Colleen Camp), his elementary-school crush. Richard is positive she didn't commit the crime, but hard evidence is lacking. To clear her name, he does some extracurricular investigating of his own -- with disastrous results.

Variety Staff

Variety

An embarrassingly unfunny attempt at screwball comedy, marking a career nadir for producer-director Peter Bogdanovich and his miscast star Rob Lowe.

The film isn't funny, but it's hard to figure out why.

[Bogdanovich] tries to emphasize the laughs rather than concentrating on characterization.

This was really good! I wonder if I am the only one who thought Richard would actually end up with Suzanne....since she kept being so flirty and showed interest in him unlike Molly. Also, the beginning was at first a bit confusing. I was wondering where they were going with it, but it soon made sense. Rob Lowe was a super hottie! Also, what the hell is up with these bad reviews? "Not funny." I thought it was pretty funny actually. >_>

Honestly if it weren't for the wit in the commentary by the narrator in this one it would have been so boring. But the conspiracy in it is so out there that it's actually pretty funny. It is kinda stupid but what would you expect form a movie from 1988, it's stereotypical of the time and it was at least a little bit of fun.

A funny romance comedy with the handsome Rob Lowe, and a good supporting cast. I enjoyed this movie, it's not great, but it's funny and I liked it.
