He is selected for jury duty and falls for the defendant Molly Gilbert (Colleen Camp), a young woman he later recognizes as his grade-school sweetheart. Richard tries to gather the evidence that will lead to her acquittal. He is not alone in his pursuit of an elusive audiotape that recorded the murder for which Molly is on trial. Jessica James plays Richard's mother, who is courted by Freddie Boneflecker (Rick Jason). Johnny Cash sings some tunes co-written with director Peter Bogdanovich. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

Critic Reviews

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.

, TV Guide's Movie Guide
The film isn't funny, but it's hard to figure out why.
-
David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
...none of this is even remotely funny.
-
, Film4
[Bogdanovich] tries to emphasize the laughs rather than concentrating on characterization.
