Just saw it this morning. I bet they'll show it again in the near future. They replay a lot of movies. By the way, aren't the woman so fresh faced and cute in this movie? I know they are younger but they were all so pretty. Jane Curtin was stand out and flawless skin (just saw her on I Love You Man - still adorable and funny.) Jessica was at her loveliest. And Susan St. James was as cute and pretty as ever and still is.

I love this movie too...I remember renting it at the video store in the early 80s when video stores were new and VHS machines were the size of a microwave oven! It's on THIS again, it takes me back. Great, great movie...very funny and I agree the ladies all look fabulous! It's worth a watch for sure!
shareIt's on THIS again here in November. I first heard about this movie in an advertisement in a 1980 issue of Rolling Stone magazine. It looked stupid then, and seeing it for the first time, I can't argue with that impression...
BUT, I always love Richard Benjamin, and he makes the most of a paltry role. It's fun to see the leading ladies looking so young, and Dabney Coleman playing a nice part for a change.
Still, this movie is a stiff. There's a reason why it never made it to DVD.
It IS available on DVD, you idiot, and for good reason, because it's a funny, light retro movie. I was a toddler when this movie came out so I didn't get to see it the first time around. I just saw it tonight and loved it. Great stuff.

I agree. It's a great retro movie that is a nice slice of life from 1980-fun, light, and watchable for the stars and some good one liners.

Really good chemistry between Jane Curtin and Susan Saint James. Paid off later in the Kate and Allie series.
