Molly Gilbert (Colleen Camp) is falsely accused of murder and goes on trial. Richard Dice (Rob Lowe) is called in for jury duty. He is surprised to find Molly as the defendant. He actually had a childhood crush on her without her knowledge and strives to prove her innocence.
This was panned by critics and director Peter Bogdanovich himself. Of course, I have to check it out. First, Rob Lowe is trying to play a bumbling nerd. He's genetically incapable of doing that. From the poster, I assumed the lead to be Corey Haim. Corey would be a better fit. Rob Lowe is trying so hard that it actually hurts to watch him. I try to imagine another actor in the role, maybe Corey. The screwball comedy is silly and light. The writing isn't good. Everybody keeps easily escaping. I don't think the story makes sense but that's doesn't really matter. Assuming the best of everything, this would still be a weak 80's comedy.
