Anthony Geary is completely wasted in a wacky supporting role as a car mechanic, so it's no wonder that he packed up his movie star ambitions and headed back to Port Charles. Newbern go through a bunch of wacky adventures, a few very funny but most of them absurd and a few rather gross. It's not a surprise that while he's away, he hooks up with shady Dallas car salesman Kimberly Foster (the year before she joined "Dallas") who sold him a lemon. She's a control freak, determined to have him wrapped around her pinky in spite of advice from his devoted relative Patrika Darbo (the best thing about the film) who has a more realistic equal view of what marriage should be. Neither of them are really a prize, with Newbern more interested in buying an expensive Lamborghini than making sure that he's at the wedding rehearsal on time. I've never heard of a majority of the TV shows or movies that either did, and I certainly never heard of this bad 80's comedy that has more bad taste then all of the stuff in Newbern's stomach and his rather disgusting nightmare over his impending marriage to Hope. No wonder that George Newbern and Leslie Hope never became household names in spite of lengthy careers and a lot of credits. Will Stephanie have to take a back-seat to the new Jill-come- lately? Is someone else going to get heartbroken here? Will he make the wedding? Well, whaddya think? I loved this film - any romantic would! if you don't like it - don't watch it! Realistically a 6.5! It doesn't AIM any higher! Time, he thinks to take it up to the shonky car dealership and its rat-bag owner! While Stephanie and her long suffering dad, together with wall to wall guests line the church waiting with little expectation of ever seeing Travis again ("Never did trust that boy" intones her dad at regular intervals) our hero is living his revenge, with the help of the beautiful sales girl who persuaded him to buy the wreck in the first place. Just days before his wedding to Stephanie (and has ANYONE ever seen a prettier girl, let alone a BRIDE than exquisite cutie - Leslie Hope?) young Travis just HAS to have himself a new supercar.some kinda tricked-up Lambo look-alike the majority of which was "made in Taiwan!" His dreams turns to an outright horror-show when the car falls apart like a cheap suit. ![]() Both films promote a feel-good yet family-orientated slant on youthful zest and maybe even excess. I agree with whoever likened this to THE WEDDING SINGER. It would lead one to believe that decency, LACK of vitriol, language and violence just doesn't sit well with today's viewing audience. Title (Brazil): "Com Qual das Duas?" ("With Which One of the Two?")Ībsolutely moronic user-rating for such a pleasant and well made little film which being in Australia, I have only ever known as MY USED CAR. The conclusion is conventional but adequate for Travis' behavior. The misadventures of Travis with his brand-new car and the situation of Stephi alone in the rehearsals are funny and Kimberly Foster is sexy and gorgeous. Will Travis marry Stephi or stay with Jonni? "It Takes Two" is another funny comedy from the 80's. Meanwhile Stephi is waiting for travel for the rehearsals and finally for the wedding. ![]() They team up with the mechanic and decide to retrieve the car he bought. She meets Travis and they have one night stand. When Jonni sees the car, she has an argument with her crooked boss since it is not the test drive car and is fired together with the mechanic. ![]() But soon Travis finds that his car is a piece of junk. He goes to a car dealer and the sexy saleswoman Jonni Tigersmith (Kimberly Foster) convinces him to buy an expensive fully-loaded Lamborghini-type car after the test drive. However he decides to buy a car with his US$ 5,000.00 savings in Dallas before the wedding. In Texas, the naive Travis Rogers (George Newbern) quits his job to marry his beloved Stephanie "Stephi" Lawrence (Leslie Hope) and work with his father-in-law.
