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. Mar 24, 2009 Full Review TV Guide The film isn't funny, but it's hard to figure out why. Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 17, 2010 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Aug 5, 2005 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...none of this is even remotely funny. Rated: 1.5/4 Jul 11, 2005 Full Review Film4 [Bogdanovich] tries to emphasize the laughs rather than concentrating on characterization. May 24, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Rob Lowe we love you, but why did you make this stupid movie. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. >_> Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Kinda remember this, it was ok, but nothing special. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Rob Lowe we love you, but why did you make this stupid movie. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
