Before Dana Carvey was known as Garth from "Wayne's World," he had this doozy of a movie. "Opportunity Knocks" is a light comedy about a con man named Eddie Ferrell (Dana Carvey) who fell into potentially one of the biggest cons of his life. The question is: what angle would he play?
He pretended to be a house sitter named Johnathan Albertson which got him easy access to a wealthy hand dryer salesman named Milt (Robert Loggia). If he could win over Milt he could have access to Milt's money, but he may just have to win over Milt's daughter, Annie (Julia Campbell), to get to him. He would do the love con.
"Opportunity Knocks" was a means for Dana Carvey to show off his comedic range when it comes to impressions or just voices in general. It's a funny family movie with no real profanity or significant violence. It's a film that's cute at times with a light wisp of romance. I wouldn't call it a rom-com, but it is knocking on the door. Still, I'd recommend this to someone like me who usually steers clear of romantic comedies.
