Cast: Steve Martin, Goldie Hawn, John Cleese, Mark McKinney, Oliver Hudson
A middle-aged Ohio couple travel to New York City for his job interview, but not one thing seems to go their way. This remake of a 1970 film starring Jack Lemmon has some promising verbal exchanges in the first few minutes, but it's steep downhill from there onwards. A series of unfunny stand-alone mishaps and misunderstandings ensue and they are all supposedly held together by the slogan "only in New York".
