Walter Davis (Bruce Willis) is overworked with no personal life. His work friend Denny is a slimball womanizer. They have a new big traditional Japanese client. His boss Harry Gruen (George Coe) require everybody with first class dates to a dinner with the new client. His brother Ted (Phil Hartman) sets him up with his wife's cousin Nadia Gates (Kim Basinger) as a blind date. He's warned not to get her drunk or else she'll get out of control. The date goes well even after they run into her ex-boyfriend David Bedford (John Larroquette). For some reason, he gives her some alcohol and away she goes.
Director Blake Edwards is running on fumes. Most importantly, I don't buy Bruce Willis as this character. This character is suppose to be a workaholic office drone. Kim Basinger is bad at drunk acting which is a real art. There has to be a class for that. Everything about this is badly manufactured. None of it is terribly funny. The slapstick and the ridiculous setups don't work. I don't understand why he gives her a drink in the first place. The setup should be that she accidentally takes a sip. The bright side is that I don't actually hate these characters. I just don't necessarily care about them.
