Storyline

- TriviaBoth Shelley Long and Bette Midler were promised top billing when they signed to do the film. Neither one wanted to give up top billing to the other. So west of the Mississippi River, Long got top billing and Midler got top billing east of the Mississippi.
- GoofsWhen Michael is about to shoot Lauren with his rifle, he is shot in the arm by one of Frank's friends, giving Lauren a chance to run away. However, when Michael is pursuing Lauren again a moment later, he illogically has not brought his rifle with him.
- Crazy creditsAs the credits roll over the freezeframe of the curtain call, Long and Midler can be heard bickering about Long's performance in the play.

Featured review
Very funny movie, but the unedited version is funnier.
I loved this movie very much in its original unedited version. For some reason I cannot find this version any more. I bought a brand new sealed copy of it from a video store and it was the edited for T.V. version 99-100 minutes. The original unedited version would be a little longer because they cut out several scenes besides the editing of the various adult humor. Would love it very much if someone could hook me up with an original unedited version of this movie. Thanks!
