My Chauffeur

"My Chauffeur" is a charming and often overlooked comedy gem from the 1980s, and at its core is the talented Deborah Foreman, whose performance shines as brightly as the film itself. This quirky and lighthearted romantic comedy is the perfect vehicle for her talents, and it's a delightful trip down memory lane for fans of '80s cinema.

Foreman plays the role of Casey Meadows, a young woman who stumbles into a job as a chauffeur, navigating the eccentric world of her wealthy and often demanding clients. Her portrayal of Casey is a delightful blend of naivety and determination. Foreman infuses the character with a natural and endearing charm, making her instantly relatable and lovable. She brings a unique blend of innocence and tenacity to the character that is both humorous and heartwarming.

The film's premise, while seemingly simple, allows Foreman's comedic timing and charisma to shine. As Casey takes on the chauffeur role and encounters a host of zany characters and humorous situations, Foreman's impeccable delivery and infectious energy keep the audience engaged and amused throughout. Her interactions with her various passengers, including the stuffy but endearing Mr. Witherspoon and the mischievous old ladies, are a true comedic highlight.

The supporting cast complements Foreman's performance beautifully, adding depth to the humor and heart of the story. The script, while light-hearted and whimsical, is full of witty one-liners and clever humor, and the film strikes a perfect balance between comedy and romance. The pacing keeps the story moving, and the soundtrack featuring '80s pop hits adds to the nostalgic charm of the film.

"My Chauffeur" captures the essence of the 1980s, with its fashion, music, and humor, making it a time capsule of the era. For those who appreciate the era's cinematic offerings, this movie is a nostalgic treasure trove.

In conclusion, "My Chauffeur" is a delightful comedy that stands the test of time, largely thanks to the engaging and charismatic performance of Deborah Foreman. Her portrayal of Casey Meadows is a testament to her comedic talents, and her ability to infuse the character with both humor and heart is commendable. If you're in the mood for a lighthearted and amusing trip back to the '80s, this film, along with Deborah Foreman's shining performance, is an excellent choice. Buckle up for a fun ride with Casey, and you won't be disappointed!

A woman is hired as a chauffeur for a limousine company. Her appointment causes all manner of perturbation and despair in the chauvinistic environs of this male-only club. Much to her male colleagues annoyance, she pretty much immediately makes a good impression with their clients though and gets involved with a relationship with a hard-nosed businessman who hires her as a driver. As is the way of these films, they start out getting on very badly but as time progresses a love affair emerges and the businessman learns from the error of his ways.

This 80's effort is overall pretty good fun. It's hardly going to blow your mind with its originality or anything though, as it is in essence a formulaic romantic comedy. But it has a very likable performance from Deborah Foreman underpinning it. She elevates the material up a notch or two. Appearing alongside her is Sam J. Jones, surely best known for his starring role in the earlier movie Flash Gordon (1980). There is also the first cinematic appearance of Penn and Teller, as a couple of oddballs who Foreman picks up latterly in the story. And we also have some very 80's music performed by the never popular new wave band, The Wigs. All-in-all, this is not bad for a low budget 80's comedy, it's corny but gets by on a reasonable amount of charm.

This movie is almost impossible to watch. Even my old lady who picked it out wanted to turn it off after the first ten minutes, but we persevered for the full 90 minutes of occipital torture.

The chick from Valley Girl is cute but one cute girl and a lame Penn and Teller bit do not make a movie great. Why does this chick want to be a limo driver so bad. What's with the lame 80's soundtrack? Couldn't they have sprung a little extra for some tunes that people have heard on the radio? Sam Jones fan since Flash but come on man, his character is even more one dimensional than Flash. Penn and Teller, great I dig them, what will they do? Well dear friends, they will do a tired, hack, unfunny bit that would have stunk as a one minute bit, but stretch it into a 15 minute borefest. I really had to put my full weight down on my lady to keep her on the sofa during the miserable Penn and Teller portion of the film.

Finally, what really upset me most was Sam Jones' unexplained super quick face turn. I mean he is the heel all movie long. Valley Girl and Sam walk in the woods, he is still heel. Then they find a cabin and bam immediate face turn, asking Valley Girl to marry him. Just 30 seconds before he wanted her fired and showed no emotion towards her. What happened? Did the editor have to trim 20 minutes of the film where it showed Valley Girl warming Flash's heart? Avoid at all costs, even free on basic cable or Netflix. I dig Sam Jones, the Valley Girl broad, EG Marshall, and that one handed villain from Live and Let Die with the alligators but come on man, let this movie rest in piece.

I love this movie....I've loved it since I first saw it at age 10...If you pride yourself on your love for off-beat movies, and have never seen this..please do..I can't promise you'll have the same love for it as I do...but I truly believe I would love it just as much if I saw it today for the first time....Deborah Foreman is perfect in this role..open enough to be such a great character. All roles are distinct, no one gets lost in the chaos. I hope you have fun..now get up go rent it..I'd loan you my copy, but I don't know you stranger!!

Free-spirit, fast-talking Casey Meadows (Deborah Foreman) works as a lowly dishwasher. She receives a letter from wealthy benefactor Witherspoon (E.G. Marshall) hiring her as a new driver for Brentwood Limousine. Supervisor McBride (Howard Hesseman) is horrified by the change in the stuffy all-male operation. Ruthless business Battle (Sam J. Jones) is one of her clients and he gets dumped by his girlfriend.

This is a fun 80's flick. Deborah Foreman was an 80's IT girl. She is adorable doing this wide-eyed, open-hearted character. Penn and Teller do a memorable hustler and Arab sheikh combo. The drawback is mainly Sam Jones. He's not a good enough actor to dig deeper into his character but he's mostly fine. He needs to be a romantic lead but he's more of a linebacker or a villain henchman. The writing is passable for an 80's comedy. The material is elevated whenever Foreman gets to deliver a fun line.
