Introduced by Ken Hoffman, Houston Chronicle
"An unassuming New York dentist (Alan Arkin) finds his life uprooted when the father (Peter Falk) of the boy his daughter is about to marry enlists his help in an undercover operation. This hilariously gonzo comedy-adventure—based on a screenplay by Andrew Bergman (Blazing Saddles)—features Falk and Arkin as an unlikely, hysterically mismatched yet ultimately synergistic duo. Both men play on their strengths as (respectively) a suave operator and an indignantly befuddled everyman . . . on the wildest of adventures, eventually ending up on nebulously intimate terms with a crazed South American dictator (Richard Libertini)." —filmfanatic.org
