Carl Reiner directed this parody of several movies. Ned Ravine (Assante) is a police officer and a lawyer who believes he knows everything there is to know about women, promising to retire from the police department if anyone ever proves him wrong. He encounters Lola Cain (Young) during a stakeout, and she begins pursuing Ned. Meanwhile, Ned's wife (Nelligan) is having an affair with Frank (Christopher McDonald), an auto mechanic, and they devise a plan to kill Ned to collect nine million dollars in insurance money. See, if Ned is shot, falls from a northbound train, and drowns in a freshwater stream, Lana will collect the money, thanks to the triple indemnity rider.
Also, Max Shady (James Remar) is released from prison after a seven year sentence. He plans to kill Ned for failing to successfully defend him in court. Predictably, all storylines collide with the typical wackiness that ensues.
Good movie, but not a great one. Recommended.
