Plot: It's the old switcheroo in this action comedy that follows the exploits of desperate extortionists. Gloria is a fluffhead with a Chinese dragon tattooed upon her chest. She wears lovely holograph earrings that just happen to contain classified detail of the U.S. space program. She is taken hostage by the bumbling extortionists and their leader Carl, former head of a freezer treat company. Unfortunately for them, Gloria accidently drowns in their pool when she tangles with a beach ball. Now the crooks must find a look-a-like for Gloria. They find her in Teresa, a college girl with a talent for mathematics. She is captured and tattooed. She soon escapes leading the crooks on a merry chase. Joining in the hunt for Teresa is an FBI agent and her new boyfriend. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

A Fast-paced, Madcap, Hilarious Romp!
Added 12/7/2005

This is a fast-paced, hilarious film with an interesting history. I initially purchased it because kd lang had a role in it, and she is absolutely a scream as a pious, "Born Again" fervent Christian aunt who tries to give Teresa advice. Julie Cypher (Lee Diamond Phillips & Melissa Etheridge's Ex) directed this funny film that is very entertaining. Melissa Etheridge provides a great soundtrack with several original songs. Nancy McKeon is in a comical supporting role as Teresa's friend and sidekick. What starts off as Teresa and her friend going to an All-Girl party ends with car chases and meeting all kinds of characters along the way.
The acting was spot-on, and it appears the actors were having fun making this film.
A great film to watch over and over again.

Cult Classic....Real Movie Buffs will love this!
Added 9/5/2004

Okay...so I bought this movie because of it's history. Yes, it is directed by Julie Cypher (ex lover/girlfriend of my favorite singer, Melissa Etheridge). Yes, it features Lou Diamond Phillips, Julie's ex husband, a few other noteable actors (kd lang, etc etc) and a cameo by Melissa herself including alot of her music...anyways...that is why I bought it. Buuuuut, it was very entertaining. It was obviously meant to be wacky and hard to follow...duh! It was very funny and just a good movie to watch. It's not deep or inspirational or heart-felt and it's not supposed to be! If you are a fan of any of these actors, give it a shot. I got my copy used through an amazon.com vendor and I'm very glad I did. $15 bucks for a rare piece of ME history is nothin...especially since I'm a huge movie fan anyways ;)
Cheerio..

This movie is TERRIBLE. The plot is non existent, the acting is mediocre at best...what a complete waste of time. I'll never get those hours of my life back and I'm mad! The fact that anyone would pay $90+ for this is SCARY.

Save your money and buy ANYTHING but this.

I would actually give it 3.5 stars total.It was funny, the cast was funny, and the storyline was funny, too. Okay, so it may not be like the Odd Couple, but it still ranks close with or ties with American Pie and Dumb and Dumber. This movie is funny.
