Two struggling actresses are forced together in a dangerous CIA plot that takes them across the country in a wild comic adventure. The objects of their chase-a two-timing Romeo and a poisonous bacteria that could destroy the world. Shot in DeLuxe color, using Panavision equipment.

Outrageous Fortune Movie Review Outrageous Fortune DVD Outrageous Fortune
Lauren (Shelley Long, THE BRADY BUNCH MOVIE) is refinement, regimentation, and ballet slippers. Sandy (Bette Midler, THE FIRST WIVES CLUB) is brassy, bossy, and stiletto heels. They meet and it's hate at first sight. But these two opposites are shocked to discover a common bond: They share the same boyfriend -- a handsome schoolteacher (Peter Coyote, RANDOM HEARTS) who mysteriously and conveniently disappears. Mr. Right wronged them ... and when they decide to track the scoundrel down, they're thrown together in a cross-country pursuit for better or worse ... mosty for worse! Brilliantly cast and deviously written, this racy, riotous comedy provides sidesplitting laughs of outrageous proportions!

Bette Midler and Richard Dreyfuss star as Barbara and Dave Whiteman, a nouveau riche Beverly Hills couple whose entire household is turned upside down with one act of uncharacteristic generosity. On a typically sunny afternoon, Dave spies Jerry (Nick Nolte), a homeless man, attempting to drown himself in their swimming pool. Dave rescues Jerry and then invites him to stay with the family, shocking Barbara, his high maintenance wife; Max (Evan Richards), his disgruntled son; and Carmen (Elizabeth Peña), his unhappy mistress and maid. The Whiteman household is far from functional with an unsatisfying marriage, a son who communicates only through video footage, a daughter who has escaped to a faraway college, a doggy psychiatrist for their neurotic dog, and a constant stream of gurus for Barbara, who's trying to find inner peace. Jerry's unexpected arrival injects a jolt of energy into the sterile Beverly Hills family. He's charismatic and charming, and before long he has Dave partying with his homeless buddies, Barbara acting out her own wild and crazy sexual fantasies, Max admitting to his private life, and Carmen inciting communist revolt. As Jerry becomes part of the Whiteman family, he thrills them, disappoints them, and ultimately reminds them of what it means to be a family. ...

A collection of episodes featuring everyone's favorite fat cat, Garfield, this set is a cornucopia of lasagna, pie, and the endearing adventures that made this one of the longest-running Saturday morning cartoons. The show shared a slot with US ACRES, another cartoon drawn by Jim Davis, about the lives of a group of farm animals led by Orson Pig. The animals spend their days avoiding Orson's mean older brothers and getting in and out of trouble, much of which stems from the pranks of jokester Roy Rooster. All of the characters appear in this collection, which includes over 40 episodes. In "The Legal Eagle, Orson lays down the ...
