David Bowie is fairly promising as a bartender frantically searching for a green card. He meets a contortionist/hopeful escape artist and she and him begin an affair.
The hijinks of trying to get a green card aren't that funny and the film doesn't move too quick at all. Plot points introduce themselves towards the end of the movie and nothing really gets resolved. But, other than that, it's a light hearted film that would warrant watching, that is if you're a Bowie fan.
There are some good roles, played by Buck Henry and Marlee Matlin, but the script doesn't do the actors' justice. The music isn't too bad, a good score as usual from Thomas Newman, alumni of The Player and Shawshank Redemption fame.
It's just one of those romantic comedies with a twist! Nothing much else to it really.
Five out of ten.
