Synopsis

Dudley Moore stars in this Venice-set farce which sees a trio of very different men finding themselves neck-deep in a series of misundersandings. Dud's estate agent has a tryst arranged with a lonely-heart from Huddersfield while Richard Griffiths as a northern mayor out for a dirty weekend makes a group of mafia men an offer they can't refuse on their villa. Bryan Brown is terrific as the hitman instructed to off Penelope Wilton's spinster from Huddersfield. Patsy Kensit plays Moore's love interest.

Critics' reviews

"A lightweight ensemble comedy in which ingenious plotting is let down by weak dialog and stop-go direction that largely squanders the talent involved."

Variety Staff: Variety
"It's lowbrow humor for the masses, and as such, it succeeds quite well."

Marc Savlov: Austin Chronicle
"Writer/director Mark Herman does a nice job of setting up the misadventure and then sitting back and letting it play itself out."

John F. Kelly: The Washington Post
