A wealthy Texas man hires Joe to serve papers to his wife whom he wishes to divorce. The wife, Sara, makes a deal with Joe to take the papers back and say that he didn't get the chance to serve them. Sara then serves divorce papers to her husband first thus securing herself a larger share of the wealth.

This was Whoopi Goldberg's first major role following her debut in The Color Purple, and it goes down as a disappointment after such an auspicious beginning to her film career. She stars as a computer operator who inadvertently gets involved in international espionage when a message for help from a spy appears on her screen. Penny Marshall, who also directed Big and Awakenings, replaced Howard Zieff in the director's chair and the script went through several writers, and this raucous comedy certainly feels at times as if there were too many cooks spoiling the broth.

Classic 80's power film comedy
Whoopi Goldberg is outstanding in this hilarious slapstick 80s comedy gem. I defy anyone who doesn't wet their pants watching this!

Typical Whoopi Romp
Watched this one some time ago and thought it worth a revisit.
Comical and thrilling at the same time with twists in the plot to keep you interested.
Escapism for a rainy weekend but not one of the best from Whoopi Goldberg.
I would watch this one again in a couple of years time but not one to buy for the collection. -
