My Chauffeur (1986)
3/10
Harmless but lame teaser comedy...
30 January 2021
1st watched 1/28/2021 - (Dir-David Beaird): Harmless but lame teaser comedy about a young woman chauffeur, played by Deborah Foreman - hired by an old rich man, played by E.G. Marshall. We really don't know why he pulls her from a dish-washing job to be one of his drivers, but she definetly is not part of the norm for the business. They subsequently try to get her fired by giving her some of the worst jobs, but somehow she pulls out positive things from the adventures despite Howard Hesseman(who plays the head of the group) and the all old male gang trying to bring her down. These jobs bring in un-pleasant characters like an obnoxious rock star, a Penn & Teller act, and a stuffy rich son, played by Sam Jones. The later starts to fall for the female chauffeur after obvious disdain for each other begins their connection - but, of course, this is a "Crown International" picture that has to have it's bouts of nudity - which this has, including a scene where the two main stars hook up. After a series of disconnected jobs - we eventually have Sam's character looking to marry the female chauffeur, but than many twists are revealed at the end(which some don't make any real sense) but pulls the story together to allow for a happy ending. There are a couple of funny bits with Deborah Foreman, but most of the movie is just bad --- and the viewer is just waiting for it to be over. Foreman's portrayal is probably the best part of the movie, but she's not given a lot to work with.
