Cindy Lauper and Jeff Goldblum are psychics. They are recruited for Peter Falk to go on down to Ecuador for reasons that keep shifting around, because he's Peter Falk.
It's not a great script and director Ken Kwapis doesn't bring much to it; neither does Goldblum, who seems to be cranky. However, Falk is always great in a role that reminds me of his character in THE IN-LAWS, and Miss Lauper, in her first screen role, makes me laugh every time she opens her mouth; she's got a voice that makes Fran Drescher sound like Helen Mirren. Steve Buscemi has a small role, and Julian Sands is also wasted. Still, a lot of fun.
