The Out-Of-Towners (1999) *
Directed by Sam Weisman. With Steve Martin, Goldie Hawn, John Cleese and Rudolph Giuliani. Annoying slapstick farce about two hicks from Ohio (Martin and Hawn) arriving in New York City and getting in all kinds of troubles. Highlighs include...actually, there are no highlights, just plenty of tired, familiar routines (hanging from balconies, getting arrested, being chased by dogs...). Cleese reprises his Basil Fawlty persona playing an obnoxious hotel manager.
