CGiii Comment

More mindless Grant comedy.

Grant and Scott were lovers during the making of this...

In the film, when Grant first meets Scott...well, it's not exactly heterosexual behaviour.

Apart from the flying poofy sparks...there's nothing going for this impotent comedy.

The(ir) Blurb...

Ellen Arden arrives 7 years after being given up for dead in a shipwreck, to find her husband Nick just remarried to Bianca. The overjoyed Nick awkwardly tries to break the news gently to Bianca. But before he can do that, an unpleasant surprise--news that Ellen has spent the 7 years on a deserted island with fellow-survivor Burkett. Nick's jealousy tries to find out the truth. Hilarious confusion reigns before Nick chooses his favorite wife.
