Format:DVD
I firstly have to say that I'm a little biased when reviewing this film. It is my favourite film of all time and I'm a huge, huge, huge Whoopi Goldberg fan!
I had this film on VHS for years and watched it so much, I wore it out and had to do with a video recording off the BBC!! So you can imagine my joy when I saw it was heading to DVD, and at a budget price too!
£5.99 does not do this DVD justice! I mean it is so funny. It the the tale of a Bank Computer Operator Terri Dolittle (Goldberg) who is brilliant at her job but underappriciated by her bosses so therefore she plays while working constantly. One night she is contacted by a British Secret agent (Price) who is stuck in Communist Russia without an exit code. All other lines of communications have been cut his only lifeline is the zany New York banker.
It has fantastic comedic scenes (guessing the password hidden within The Rolling Stones' Jumpin' Jack Flash is a prime example) and stand out performances by Goldberg, Tracey Ulman and the late Phil Hartman.
***** - Buy it now! And buy two copies while you're at it, just in case you wear yours out like I did!!!

Format:VHS Tape
I have been searching for this video for ages! I originally saw it a few years ago and laughed so much. The storyline is really amusing and Whoopi Goldberg is so brilliant in it. If you like her in some of her other earlier films you'll love her in this!

Format:VHS Tape
The Storyline, the Characters, The Film in it's entirity runs like a well oiled laughter machine which near made my sides split. No, REALLY! I have never laughed so much. Her impression of Diana Ross, the encounter with the shredding machine and the phone box incident. A real must see to be appreciated. Laughed? I tittered 'till the cows came home.

Whoopi at her funniest
A great film from the '80s. A very funny Whoopi Goldberg and a young Jonathan Price star in this comedy.
