A so-so entry in the knee-em-in-the-nuts genre.

Just as big of a surprise that Streep and Barr are working together, is the fact that this is mildly entertaining.

A flop at the time of it's release, but actually a very good and funny female revenge fantasy from the seriously underrated director Susan Seidelman.
