This remake of a movie is funny! Steve and Goldie are a great on screen couple! They bounce off each other with their comedic timings. The antics that come about are hysterical! I love the car scene with the map - that could happen to anyone and I fear that it would happen to me one day if I rent a car like that! Let's not forget John Cleese! LOVE him! He is quite the "gay" man in this film - what an uproar he makes!!! His scene in the guest room with the fur coat and the high heals - makes you wonder how long it took him to learn how to walk let alone dance. This movie is a GREAT remake. I thought the first one was a little strained but this version is RIGHT ON THE MONEY!

Married Ohio couple Henry (Steve Martin) and Nancy Clark (Goldie Hawn) are in a rut. Their daughter left medical school to pursue acting. Their son leaves for his European trip and they face the empty nest with dread. Henry lost his job and hasn't told his wife. He has a job interview in New York City and she surprises him by joining him on the trip. The plane is forced to land in Boston and Henry is desperate to get to his interview the next morning. Mr. Mersault (John Cleese) is the annoying hotel manager.

I don't like the couple's bickering. I don't like them period. This is Planes, Trains, but without the sweet charms of John Candy. Steve Martin is basically the same guy. She's a pretty horrible person and slightly dumb. She's supposed to be adorable but she's entitled and annoying. The bickering stupidity of one liners could work if I actually like these people. I don't think anybody is likeable. I can't believe that Mersault is in the service industry. That's not to say that these are not expertly crafted zingers. It's just that I really don't like anybody. It makes it difficult to like the comedy.

The teaming of Goldie Hawn and Steve Martin might sound great on paper but has failed twice in movies.

This remake of the Neil Simon comedy has Hawn playing Nancy Clark as a sexualy frustrated housewife. Martin plays Henry an uptight and out of work advertising executive who needs to go to New York for a job interview.

Nancy joins Henry on his flight from Ohio as a surprise but trouble ensues when the plane is diverted to Boston. The couple need to get to New York in a rental car which has heating they cannot operate, they get mugged, they cannot check into the hotel as their credit card is overdrawn, find out that their daughter has dropped out of college, get kidnapped in a getaway car, Henry gets arrested for sleeping rough, has an acid tablet thinking it was aspiring in his police cell and other unfunny shenanigans.

John Cleese plays Basil Fawlty lite with a penchant for women's clothing.

There were one or two mild laughs but it really is a tepid, unfunny, banal farce.
