When two strangers stumble into international intrigue in the middle of a Los Angeles night, anything can happen… and does, in this zany comedy directed by John Landis. Ed Orkin (Jeff Goldblum) is an insomniac with a cheating wife and a dull job. His chances for excitement look hopeless until a mysterious blond named Diana (Michelle Pfeiffer) drops onto the hood of his car. Now it's Ed's turn for some adventure and romance as Diana leads him on a merry and murderous chase where the payoff could be dollars or death. The outstanding cast includes David Bowie, Vera Miles, Dan Aykroyd and a host of Hollywood's hottest directors in cameos. It's a night on the town you'll never live down! (101 Films)

A good old honest film, so to speak. Or is it not? Just one of the many rungs that Michelle Pfeiffer has climbed to the absolute top. It's very old these days and I have no need to see it again, if only for the regular sinusoid of slow, ordinary dialogue and sterile action. On the other hand, for cases of insomnia, it has its charm and there are some interesting cameos in there.
