Plots(1)
John Travolta stars as a Rolling Stone reporter who travels to Los Angeles to investigate a drug case and decides to write an exposé of the health-club craze of the 1980s. Reporter Adam Lawrence (Travolta) sets out to trash the fitness craze as just a replacement of the shallow singles bar scene of the 1970s. He even has a title in mind: "Looking for Mr. Goodbody." As he researches his story, Adam meets Jessie (Jamie Lee Curtis), a sexy fitness instructor who has little use for scribes like him. Adam charms the reluctant Jessie, and before long the hot couple is working out together--in more ways than one. Suddenly Adam is faced with a quintessential dilemma of journalism: Can he be Jessie's lover and still ridicule her friends and workplace? (official distributor synopsis)

I give it an average rating mainly for Jamie Lee Curtis, who is absolutely irresistible as the aerobics instructor. The way she moves... But the story of this film is incredibly contrived, to the point where the writers didn't even know what to do with it, so they stretched it out to two hours. The action is not that interesting and you will enjoy the romance the most anyway.
