jwruffin-64438 Though a seasoned reporter appears to have charmed many ladies on his way to notoriety, he meets his match in a pretty but wise female reporter seeking to get the answer to the mystery behind a train wreck. Villains pursue each reporter as they try to outfox each other and then team up to get to the truth behind the wreck -- a murder that is cloaked by the wreck's apparent cause.Pure fun and naughty enough to enjoy. Julia and Nick made what could have been an okay mystery-comedy into total enjoyment. What great chemistry, even though the connections between villains and the plot could have been a bit easier to follow.If you like either of these two, you 'll love them both as their affection grows with the urgency to uncover clues, solve the murder, and bring them together finally.

edwagreen Had this film been made in the 1930s, William Powell and Myrna Loy certainly would have had the parts of Nick Nolte and Julia Roberts.The film is fast paced and provides plenty of interest as 2 competing reporters vie for a major news story regarding the derailment of a rear car of a passenger train, resulting in the deaths of 5 people.Nolte and Roberts soon discover that there is much more to this accident than anyone can believe. When they make their discovery, they are pursued by the culprits. In a very hilarious scene, the chased into a Vegas wedding chapel and wed in a quick ceremony with Nolte wearing a skull cap.Olympia Dukakis, Marsha Mason and Robert Loggia are wasted in this film. They briefly appear and don't have exciting parts at all.

TBJCSKCNRRQTreviews If you're a heterosexual male, there's only one reason for seeing this movie, or any part of it. And if you're reading this comment, you probably already know what it is, from the one line summary. I did write it to get the attention of aforementioned group. If you're not in it, feel free to ignore this comment or despise me. I'm used to it. Anyway, yes, in this movie, there is one scene where Julia Roberts is, even confirmed by the trivia segment of the main site for this film, completely naked. Of course, we don't see all that much... she is against nude scenes, after all. But what we see is enough to form about as close to a complete (and realistic, mind you) mental picture of her body. Anyway, it's probably as close as we're ever going to get, anyway. About the one-hour mark in the movie, about halfway in, Roberts is bathing nude in some water. She gets up and begins to pick up her clothes, covered by Nolte whom she stands behind. Then some boy-scouts show up, and, being heterosexual males, they of course stare at the lovely Julia, and who can blame them? Anyway, after some chit-chat between Nolte and Roberts, Nick decides to be a man and let the boys have an eyeful... he walks away, leaving Roberts standing butt-naked in front of the boys. We get plenty of alluring shots of her back, legs and thighs from behind, and this sight alone is enough to please me... no need for full nude shots. This sequence is the only thing in the movie worth watching for any straight man, I'm sorry to say. Should I go through the normal routine? Why not. The plot is dull and pointless, not to mention predictable. The pacing is awful. The acting is flat. The characters are mostly stereotypes, and all paper-thin. If you are forced to watch this movie by a girl who couldn't tell a good movie if it hit her in the face, just look forward to that one scene. If it's on TV one night, just keep half an eye open for that scene. If you're able to see it on VHS or DVD for free with no obligation to see the whole thing, fast-forward or go directly to the scene. If you're not in the group that this comment refers to, then by all means see the movie. Try desperately to explain how the movie is good, or even decent. I'll gladly shoot your comments into the ground with simple reasoning. I have seen the movie a few times, and after the first time(where I payed attention) I have only seen this one scene attentively. Do I have anything against the two stars? Not at all. Do I have something against formulaic movies? Yes, but not if the movie does offer something new. Argue with me all you want, in my eyes there is nothing worth spending time on in this movie apart from that one scene, if you're a straight guy. I recommend this film only to people who don't care about quality in movies, and big fans of the actors. I do think, though, that every single straight guy in the world should see the scene I've mentioned at least once in their lifetime, unless they find Julia Roberts to be more than just a little unattractive, of course. 5/10

Shari I have this movie on tape and no matter how many times I watch it, I can't seem to understand how the movie goes from one point to another. I guess because it bores me to tears sometimes and catches my interest at others. The rivalry is ridiculous because you know from the start it's the age-old Hollywood "I hate you-I love you" competition. You knew from the moment they were introduced, they were gonna get together. The competition was more of who can annoy each other the worst? *SPOILER* When they accidentally got married in Vegas to outrun a guy who looked like Inspector Gadget was far far too absurd. The background story seemed to develop out of nowhere with all the answers at the end. Crazy "wild goose chase" kinda movie, but not too bad. I watched it more than once at least.
