Moon Over Parador (1988)
Great popcorn movie.
The other reviews do a great job of describing this movie.
It is interesting to note that this movie was re-made in 1993 using a USA plot location. The remake is "Dave, "where the President is replaced by a look-alike (Kevin Kline) when the President suffers a stroke. The plots are nearly identical, with differences mainly due to location and nationality. If you want an interesting night at the movies watch them in succession and note their similarities.
Say Yes (1986)
An elderly millionaire dies leaving his playboy grandson as heir, so long as he marries within 24 hours.
This is a cute very low budget comedy that was produced (financed) by the leading actress' parents. It is surprising that they were able to hire stars including Art Hindle and Joathan Winters for this low budget film. The script, direction, and editing are very uneven, probably the result of a very low budget. Some changes in script and final film editing could have greatly improved this movie.
It appears that this movie was re-made in 1999 with script/plot revision, competent direction, major stars and a $21 million budget. The 1999 movie was "The Bachelor," staring Chris O'Donnell, Renee Zellwenger, Peter Ustinov (in the Jonathan Winter's roll), Mariah Carey, Brooke Shields, Hal Holbrook, James Cromwell, and others. If you watch both movies, the similarity in plot and situations is obvious.
