Summary: Not A Classic, But Still Entertaining.
Review: Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn have reputations that precede them, and when they're in a movie together, you know it's going to be a mildly funny screwball comedy. That's exactly what this movie turns out to be.This is the story of Henry and Nancy Clark (Martin and Hawn, respectively), an Ohio couple who have a son that they've just sent off to study abroad for a year, and a daughter who quit medical school to become an actress in New York. Henry has just gotten fired from his job at an advertising firm and now he must go to New York City to interview for a job at the only company that's interested in hiring him. Nancy tags along on the trip, and before you know it, the adventure begins. They begin by having their plane re-routed to Boston and the airline losing their luggage. They can't get a bus to New York City, they miss the Amtrak by just a few seconds, and then they get stuck with a rental car with a heater that won't shut off. They damage their rental car, get mugged by an Andrew Lloyd Webber impersonator, and get kicked out of their hotel. All of that happens in just the first 20 minutes of the movie. These problems and inconveniences keep mounting, and during the whole time they're looking for food to quell their hunger, a place to rest, and a way to kick-start their stagnant marriage. Like I already mentioned, this movie is mildly funny, but still not on par with other movies these two actors have made. Steve Martin is a veteran of these types of comedies, but he's not as good here as he was in movies like "Father of the Bride". He's always been great at playing the well-intentioned goof, but he just doesn't sell it as well here. Goldie Hawn is an Academy Award winner, but it's clear that her best work is behind her. She's also been in better movies of this genre. In the grand scheme of things, this movie will probably rank as one of the lesser works on these two actors' resumes. However, if you're looking to entertain yourself for 90 minutes, this movie will do the job.
