Ashley Scott plays an executive for a company that produces pet supplies. Just after getting into a fight with her boyfriend about their relationship status, she takes up with the company's mascot and the company president's son on a road trip across America at Christmastime in an effort to get home for the holiday season.

Susan Olson, Donna Pescow, and Mindy Cohn also played roles in this film, which, when I stumbled across the names, piqued my interest, so when I found out it was on TV, I hunkered down for the evening with the movie. It's not bad, but a bit clichéd. If you have a couple of hours during the holiday season and it airs in your area, go for it! But don't break up any holiday plans to sit down for it...you'll be disappointed.

To be totally honest, I never was a really big fan of Vince Vaughn, but I guess he's an "all-right guy." But I would only put that title on his ability to act, because he sure fell short in his ability to write comedy. Given the setting that he and his fellow writers put themselves in, the plot fell way short of spectacular and ended up somewhere between boring and snoring (I really did almost fall asleep during this film).

But given the lead having called in his part (the film might have been better if he HAD called it in), I can get a better understanding of how an actor can "play" off another actor, which the rest of the cast accomplished in doing. Bottom line: in this film, Vince Vaughn pulled out all the stops in achieving NOTHING! 3 out of 10 stars in this film is a gift!

A couple of nerdy teenagers get the idea to use a computer to create a woman who will give in to their every whim. Little did they count on whims of her own...like creating men out of them.

Kelly LeBrock's big break comes in this film and becomes every red blooded young man's fantasy, and her antics throughout this film are quite for its time, but computers have come a long way since then and with cloning...

All right! Enough of that. The bottom line is that this film was good for its time, and it's not bad now, but it has faded over the years and the only time I pull out the DVD is when I'm in the mood for some comedy from the 80's (but "The Breakfast Club" is a lot better). The interaction between the characters is not bad, and the chemistry is a bit intriguing.

7 out of 10 stars.
