When bachelor Walter Davis is set up with his sister-in-law's pretty cousin, Nadia Gates, a seemingly average blind date turns into a chaotic night on the town.

This is the kind of movie that serves as a reminder that comedy is agonizingly difficult when it works, and even more trouble when it doesn't.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

What this movie needs is Cybill Shepherd playing hard to get. Or anybody playing hard to get.
