About this movie

Lauren (Shelley Long, THE BRADY BUNCH MOVIE) is refinement, regimentation, and ballet slippers. Sandy (Bette Midler, THE FIRST WIVES CLUB) is brassy, bossy, and stiletto heels. They meet and it's hate at first sight. But these two opposites are shocked to discover a common bond: They share the same boyfriend -- a handsome schoolteacher (Peter Coyote, RANDOM HEARTS) who mysteriously and conveniently disappears. Mr. Right wronged them ... and when they decide to track the scoundrel down, they're thrown together in a cross-country pursuit for better or worse ... mosty for worse! Brilliantly cast and deviously written, this racy, riotous comedy provides sidesplitting laughs of outrageous proportions!

Ratings and reviews

Shelley long is uptight in real life, so this is perfect !! I loved Bette's 80's movies!! She is a force to be reckoned with!! This is hysterical and good laughs. Check out Ruthless People for more laughs!!

Awesome movie! I love Shelley and Bettie!! I missed the good ole 80's!

Better Miles and Shelley Long have the same lover.
