Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

Jeff and Jane Blue (Quaid and Turner) are vacationing in New Orleans with their baby. But the plans of these amorous FBI agents are spoiled when arch-enemy Novacek (Shaw) turns out to be the mastermind of an arms-smuggling ring. One can understand how this project might have appealed to the leads: the sassy by-play and brassy derring do is reminiscent of Romancing the Stone, while Quaid is back in Big Easy territory. Herbert Ross, however, appears to think he's directing a spin-off from Police Academy. Disappointingly infantile.
