Although technically he May be the one to blame he a really just the spark that lights the fuse of a textbook Case of mistaken identities. The situation gradually gathers momentum in a snowball effect climaxing with the other principals cavorting about the landscape like the proverbial chickens sans Heads. Pinchot is a bumbling baggage handler at a hotel in Venice. He launches the show by mixing up envelopes addressed to three guests who Are checking in a Orton Dudley Moorea goofy lower rung executive sent to sea the Purchase of a Villa for his Boss Horton Richard Griffith son a Solo vacation and anticipating a bit of adultery through an International dating service and Lawton Bryan brownian underworld Hitman.

This leads to an interrogation scene featuring a Fork being shoved up Moore a nose. Pinchot also gets in a few Good licks even though his accent is a More strangled and tortured version of the vaguely slavic Tongue he uses on televisions perfect strangers. You could Hurt yourself trying to figure out what he a saying. But its Griffiths who was last seen getting kidnapped and rescued by Leslie Nielsen in the naked gun 2�?Ta the smell of fear who seems to have the most fun. He certainly gets most of those endearingly British double Lentendre lines while lusting after Kensit Mel Gibson a love object in lethal weapon 2. Your enjoyment of this film will be directly proportional to your fondness for the slapstick and sight gag school of British comedy epitomized by the likes of the Monty Python troupe and Benny Hill. With a running time of less than 90 minutes and a plot that seems a bit threadbare in places blame it on the Bellboy is hardly in the same league with those comedy icons. But Moore and company manage to wring enough laughs from the material to earn his film 2v2 stars. Page 12 a sunday March 22, 1992
