    Kind of funny film but it ruined it for me when George Carlin played the "hippie indian" and he said "genuine indian shit". Isn't racism funny?!

    I think I started watching this once, but got annoyed by Midler's bitching and Long's blonde moments and turned it off.

    One of those really dumb 80s comedies where they obviously cast Long and Midler first, and then worried about the script afterward. Some of the bickering is mildly amusing, but there are much better uses of your time.

    I was nearly a third of the way through this movie before I decided it was not a spoof on another film. I found it funny, and with Bette Midler, Shelley Long and George Carlin in the film, it was doomed to be funny. Good flick for the whole family.

    Bette Midler's funniest movie. She and Shelley Long are two actresses who somehow get involved in spies and goverment conspiracies. It's an unbelivable situation but funny as hell. Bette and Shelley make a great team and I was suprised they didn't make anymore films together. A really good comedy that lets the Divine Miss M do her thing.

    Lauren: "Because everything that comes out of your mouth is pornographic."
    Sandy: "That is a fucking lie."

    Prissy Shelley Long and foul-mouthed Bette Midler discover they have some things in common: they don't like each other, they both shared the same foreign-spy lover and they're both funny.

    This movie was HILARIOUS! I like the part when they're at the police station and Bette Midler makes the Needle Nick comment LOL

    Bette and Shelley have such wonderful onscreen chemistry! They are a complete pleasure to watch - this is the way comedies are supposed to be!!
