CGiii Comment
Goldie Hawn has gay landlords.
A flimsy, forgettable comedy by an eminent director who wasn't at the top of his game when he made this shambling effort.
A vehicle for Goldie's ditzy talents.
If you like ditzy - then, this is for you.

The(ir) Blurb...
The US needs to convince the visiting emir Khala'ad of Othar to allow an American military base in his strategic realm. Clueless nightclub waitress Sunny Ann Davis accidentally spots and stops a terrorist shooting at the president and his royal guest. Her naive comments charm the press, so the State Department recruits her for its Protocol. She falls in love with charming Middle East desk chief Michael Ransome, who resigns rather than help trick her into a 'contact mission' to Othar, where the emir's plan with her unexpectedly stirs a revolution.
