À propos de ce film

The town con and the town beauty team up to outwit a half-wit pair of would-be burglars in this hilarious comedy from John Hughes. Frank Whaley stars as Jim Dodge, a smooth-talking small-town guy with a knack for putting up a front -but no talent for holding down a job. But Jim's life suddenly takes a turn for the fantastic when he finds himself locked inside the local department store one night with Josie McClellan (Jennifer Connelly), the daughter of the town's wealthiest citizen. And when this unlikely pair is treated to a surprise visit from two bargain-hunting burglars (Dermot Mulroney and Kieran Mulroney), the laughs keep escalating in this delightfully entertaining look at small-town America.

Notes et avis

way too god damned much money to pay for a rental~ order at wal-mart get movie package deal for two dollars.

Frank Whaley navigating the smoldering hotness of an 80s Jennifer Connelly, in an otherwise cute and clever movie. Don't expect the angst and emotional depth of The Breakfast Club, but this movie still carries the Hughes-ian themes of the decade; languid, listless young adults, making their way through life, trying to come to terms with what lies ahead.

I could be locked in a dumpster with Jennifer Connelly and life would be great! I still love this film after all these years. John Hughes picked two great talents in Frank Whaley and Jennifer Connelly.
