An uninspired, if watchable hybrid of the teen wish-fulfilment comedy and substandard John le Carré. A youthful Anthony Edwards impresses as a shy college kid who embarks upon a European vacation and gets involved with a spy ring, while Linda Fiorentino's turn as a sultry spy leaves one pondering why it took so long for her to blossom into a star. We've all seen it before — innocent abroad has an affair with a sophisticated older woman. However director Jeff Kanew offers plenty of frantic scurrying about and sharp one-liners to paper over the elements of déjà vu, if little in the way of actual danger and suspense. Put simply, it's “diet Hitchcock”.

Funny and enormously entertaining, it's a delightful romantic-comedy adventure...

Brings back memories
This film, I loved it in the eighties. The first half is a little slower than I remember but still a cracking evenings entertainment.
