Lauren (shelly Long, The Brady Bunch Movie) is refinement, regimentation and ballet slippers. Sandy (Bette Midler, The First Wives Club) is brassy, bossy and stiletto heels. They meet and it's hate at first sight. But these two opposites are shocked to descover a common bond. They share the same boyfriend -- a hondsome schoolteacher (Peter Coyote, Random Hearts) who mysteriously and conveniently disappears. Mr. Right wronged them....and when they decide to track the scoundrel down, they're thrown together in a cross-country pursuit for better or worse....mostly worse! Brilliantly cast and deviously written, this racy, riotous comedy provides sidesplitting laughts of outrageous proportions!
