College dropout Richard Dice (Rob Lowe) doesn't have much going for him, so getting selected for jury duty is a welcome respite. When he's selected for a murder trial, Richard discovers, to his shock, that the defendant is none other than Molly Gilbert (Colleen Camp), his elementary-school crush. Richard is positive she didn't commit the crime, but hard evidence is lacking. To clear her name, he does some extracurricular investigating of his own -- with disastrous results.

An embarrassingly unfunny attempt at screwball comedy, marking a career nadir for producer-director Peter Bogdanovich and his miscast star Rob Lowe. Go to Full Review TV Guide Aug 17, 2010

thiago S @Thiagostone May 13, 2026 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Dec 4, 2011 Rob Lowe we love you, but why did you make this stupid movie. See more Apr 7, 2011 This was really good! I wonder if I am the only one who thought Richard would actually end up with Suzanne....since she kept being so flirty and showed interest in him unlike Molly. Also, the beginning was at first a bit confusing. I was wondering where they were going with it, but it soon made sense. Rob Lowe was a super hottie! Also, what the hell is up with these bad reviews? "Not funny." I thought it was pretty funny actually. >_> See more Feb 11, 2011 Kinda remember this, it was ok, but nothing special. See more Jan 16, 2011 Honestly if it weren't for the wit in the commentary by the narrator in this one it would have been so boring. But the conspiracy in it is so out there that it's actually pretty funny. It is kinda stupid but what would you expect form a movie from 1988, it's stereotypical of the time and it was at least a little bit of fun.
