Hollywood regularly trawls abroad for ideas, and often unearths something inspirational only to turn it into a bland retread. Here, even the source - a routine 1972 French farce called Le Grand Blond avec Une Chaussure Noire - lacks clout, despite being a surprise hit with audiences. It's a silly tale about a bumbling musician (here played by Tom Hanks) who is taken to be a spy. By copying the weak original, director Stan Dragoti barely has enough good lines to keep the cast awake, leaving even the likes of Hanks marooned by inanity and mistiming.


No mention of Carrie Fisher in a Leopard skin style Bikini and so if I hadn't checked with IMDB, I would have been none-the-wiser.

'Sexual repression' gets a mention in this film.
