No wonder that George Newbern and Leslie Hope never became household names in spite of lengthy careers and a lot of credits. I've never heard of a majority of the TV shows or movies that either did, and I certainly never heard of this bad 80's comedy that has more bad taste then all of the stuff in Newbern's stomach and his rather disgusting nightmare over his impending marriage to Hope. Neither of them are really a prize, with Newbern more interested in buying an expensive Lamborghini than making sure that he's at the wedding rehearsal on time. She's a control freak, determined to have him wrapped around her pinky in spite of advice from his devoted relative Patrika Darbo (the best thing about the film) who has a more realistic equal view of what marriage should be.

It's not a surprise that while he's away, he hooks up with shady Dallas car salesman Kimberly Foster (the year before she joined "Dallas") who sold him a lemon. Newbern go through a bunch of wacky adventures, a few very funny but most of them absurd and a few rather gross. Anthony Geary is completely wasted in a wacky supporting role as a car mechanic, so it's no wonder that he packed up his movie star ambitions and headed back to Port Charles.

The Dallas locations are fun (which includes a few chase sequences), but the film as a whole makes little sense, and Newbern and Hope have little spark. Foster, who resembles a Sharon Stone type femme fatale, isn't exactly someone to root for either. I wouldn't call this a complete disaster, especially since the self-centered Hope appears to be getting what she deserves.

this is one of the great movies of the '80's. travis and stephi will get married in a few days but before travis gets married he wants to sow his wild oates by going to the big city (dallas) and buying an "imitation lamborghini". at the dealership he meets sex vixen sales rep jonni tigersmith and she convinces him to buy all the options but the extended warranty. once he drives off the lot the cars goes ballistics and conks out. all the while he's trying to get the dealership to repair his lemon but no extended warranty means no service. so he and jonni team up with the recently fired chief mechanic to break out another car from the dealership firebomb it and race the crooked manager in a chase scene. back in his home town stephi is still waiting on word on when he's supposed to return so they can get married...you can't take this movie to seriously, it stacks up great to other great movies from the '80's and '90's better off dead, one crazy summer, men at work, the chase, buffy the vampire slayer, i'm gonna get you sucka, mannequin, the first and maybe the second police academy, etc.
