Outrageous Fortune
16 January 2007
Warning: Spoilers
I did watch this very late at night, 2am till 4am, but I thought it was pretty worth it, from director Arthur Hiller (see No Evil, Hear No Evil). Basically Lauren Ames (Shelley Long) and Sandy Brozinsky (Golden Globe nominated Bette Midler) meet each other in the same acting class, and eventually (after a while) find out that they both share the same lover. But when Michael Sanders (Peter Coyote) disappears and they refuse to believe he is dead, they go on a trip both to find him and find out why they are being chased by bad guys, who turn out to be the CIA. Also starring Robert Prosky as Stanislav Korzenowski, John Schuck as Agent Atkins and George Carlin as Frank Madras. There are many good chase sequences, but it is the comedic moments between Long and particularly Midler that keep you interested. Worth watching!
