In a well-wrought sex comedy with one foot in the feminist camp and another on a banana peel, Casey Meadows (Deborah Foreman in an excellent performance) defies social custom when she gets a job as a limo driver. The manager of the Brentwood Limousine Company, McBride (Howard Hesseman), and her co-workers give her both a hard time and some of the worst fares possible. She is eventually assigned to chauffeur an overworked executive (Sam Jones) who just broke up with his girlfriend. After drowning his sorrows in the back seat of the limo, the ingrate wakes up in Casey's bed the morning after, refusing to believe he had anything to do with her. Their antagonistic relationship is stressed all the more when she has to drive him on a vacation and the car breaks down. What Casey does not know is that she has not been given the complete scoop on her passenger. Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Seller's Description:
Deborah Foreman, Sam Jones, Sean McClory, Howard Hesseman, E.G. Marshall. Run time: 97 mins. Originally released: 1986. Language: English. Factory sealed brand new DVD Sleek cars, stuffy old men, and a Madonna-esque, high spirited girl are the ingredients of this 1980's comedy that has since reached cult status deservingly. Cult actress Deborah Foreman, star of such films as Valley Girl, April Fool's Day, Waxwork, and Lobster Man From Mars gives her best performance yet, defying all other mainstream 80's starlets such as Molly Ringwald and Ally Sheedy. The plot centers around Foreman's character Casey Meadows, who has just been hired for a position as a chauffeur at the elite Brentwood Limiousines Ltd. Casey is not welcomed by her new colleagues, mainly because she happens to be the only female working there. Can Casey prove them wrong and save her job? The film takes us on a journey through all of Casey's driving escapades, which include a feisty punk star, an Arabian prince, and ultimately, the son of the owner of Brentwood, where the climax of the film begins. When I watched this movie for the first time, it reminded me of other 80's flicks like Mannequin and Maid to Order. This film surpasses those though, mixing elements of 1930's screwball comedy and Valley Girl style. After this film being virtually unavailable for years, Rhino productions has kindly re-released it on VHS and DVD. If you dont posess a liking for 80's films in general, you most likely will not enjoy this film, but if you have an open mind and a love for campy 80's pop culture, then you will no doubt love this film.
