Editorial Review

JoBeth Williams plays an unfulfilled housewife who wins a trip to Paris after entering a short-story contest. Once there, she is hit by a car and wakes up believing she is the ingenious and brave heroine from her story. A series of misadventures leads her on a merry chase with fellow bumbler Tom Conti. The casting is a little dubious, but the ever adorable Conti gives this charm. It may rip off Romancing the Stone–without emulating that flick's witty dialogue or sexuality–but this appealing fluff remains a pleasant, if slight, diversion. –Rochelle O'Gorman
