year: 1984
cast: Dudley Moore, Natassja Kinski, Armand Assante, Albert Brooks
rating: *1/2
The three lead love-triangle driven characters (Dudley Moore, Natassja Kinski and Armand Assante) are running around like chickens with heads cut off, trying to update Preston Sturges (who wrote films in an era when actors always ran around like headless chickens, yet it worked) but to no avail. Hemingway wrote "Never mistake motion for action". I didn't. There was so much going on, I was bored silly. Even Albert Brooks, as Moore's "voice of reason", was completely wasted.
