Plot Summary:
Gloria Mundy is a mild-mannered librarian who becomes embroiled
in a murder plot after picking up a hitchhiker. She finds
herself pursued by mysterious figures and a seemingly clueless
police detective. As the situation escalates, the two must
uncover the truth behind the conspiracy before it's too late.
Dad's Preview:
Chevy Chase and Goldie Hawn made two films together, the other
being Seems Like Old
Times (1980). Both are wonderful, light comedies that
feature their enjoyable chemistry. This film centers on: a girl
being wrongfully pursued, an amorous detective, an albino
assassin, a dwarf, a different guy called "The Dwarf" and a friendly
pervert. It's a hilarious who-done-it romp with ton of laughs.
The scene where a limo is temporarily hijacked is one of the
funniest ever!
