This overlooked 80s action/adventure comedy is highly overlooked and hardly anyone has ever heard of it. It isn't the best thing ever, you'll find better movies out there, especially from the 80s. But overall, I liked this movie alright. I really loved Bette Midler and Shelley Long as the leads. I wouldn't have liked it as much if they weren't the ones starring. They both just have this great energy about them that makes the movie work most of the time. There are some scenes that are dull and even Midler and Long can't save it, but luckily those come far and few in between. The comedy works because Midler and Long are always just so funny in all of their movies, they both are just natural comedians. The acting works, the humor is there the majority of the time, and the action is so so, the action wasn't really the focus of the movie for me. The focus for me was seeing these two women go on this funny adventure. One of the lines in the film towards the end that had me falling over laughing was when Bette says "I'll never date a man again, getting laid just isn't worth it!" Overall, it's an average film that isn't worth unending praise but it's fairly enjoyable and like I've stated, that's due to the lead actresses performances. 7/10 for Outreagous Fortune.
