My husband and I just rewatched this movie . . .


. . . because we remembered how hilarious it is! Don't know why it has such an awful rating.

I don't know, either. I have a copy that plays on my computer (pleasant surprise, since it's not US region) and I'm watching it right now...laughing. Vutures--"They're on spec?" "This action is no longer covert!!!...and they're armed to the teeth!!!!"

I love this movie.

Nothing beats "telling the truth can be dangerous business, honest and popular don't go hand in hand, if you admit that you can play the accordion no one will hire you for a rock and roll band." You have to be one hell of a writer pull off that kind of lyric.

I refuse to be outwitted by a 2-dimensional character in a cheap romantic thriller!
