Saw this movie once when I was a kid - remembered it for being a very goofy movie with a sloppy plot that really goes all over the place and overacting that made the cast of characters somewhat annoying at times.I did a get a few chuckles out of it, but I've seen lots more funnier stuff than this. Grade D

Marilyn (Cybill Shepherd) and her husband, Neil (James Belushi) are on the train to Monte Carlo to enjoy a well-earned vacation. While they are aboard, they run into businessman Augie Morosco (John Candy) as well as Phoebe (Sean Young) and Julian (Richard Lewis). Phoebe and Julian are soon ordered to leave the train, as they have a dog with them. Surprisingly, it turns out not to be their dog, but rather a canine they found and are returning to the female owner for the reward money. When they arrive at the owner's mansion, Phoebe and Julian soon discover that the owner has been murdered. Naturally, they are afraid that they will be blamed and flee the area. Meanwhile, Marilyn and Neil are experiencing different results at the gaming tables. Through various happenstances, all of the above characters will be suspects in the murder of the little dog's owner. Will police inspector Bonnard (Giancarlo Giannini) be able to nail the correct killer?This comedic whodunit has an adorable cast (especially the quite stunning Sean Young) and a silly-but-fun plot that keeps the viewer pondering. John Candy's scenes are too few in number for him to steal the show, yet he generates chuckles, as usual. Instead, George Hamilton, in a small role, is the one who makes ample use of his screen time to charm and delight the audience. The scenery and costumes, also, are first rate. Viewers may have to search hard to find this film at the video store or library. Those who do will be rewarded with an evening of smiles and second-guessing as the film merits are unrolled.

how can such wonderful actors get involved in such a badly written and badly directed film? As for James Belushi,whatever credence he had as an actor is destroyed by his over the top performance. George Hamilton once again does a fine job as an Italian Gigolo and John Candy does his usual mixed job. Sometimes he can be brilliantly funny and other times he seems like a rank amateur. The director needs to go back to school and learn how to direct,it seems that the actors had a free hand in doing their own thing and it doesn't work. Lee Strasburg and John Huston must be rolling in their graves if this is the best that the modern age film community can do. This had the promise of a great movie,a great location,the excitement of Monte Carlo,but it just got lost.Don't even waste your time on a rainy day,instead go out and get wet.

There are some fairly good performances in this rather thin movie. However, be advised that James Belushi gives one of the most annoying performances that you will ever see. He plays one of those extremely selfish husbands who always has something unkind to say to his wife (played very well by Cybil Sheppard). Belushi is hyperactive throughout the film and his overacting tends to spoil this movie. His every spoken line tends to be as shrill as the proverbial "fingernail across the chalkboard". I despise people like the character he plays in real life and have similar sentiments towards them on screen. Why the film's Director didn't restrain Belushi will forever remain a mystery to me. During the scenes that Belushi isn't in, the movie is mostly pleasant with some solid laughs.
