This attempt to remake the clever 1977 French
farce Un Moment d'Egarement stars 50-film-a-year man
Michael Caine as an executive named
Matthew Hollis, who, together with friend
Victor Lyons (
Joseph Bologna), travels to Rio de Janeiro on business.
Victor sets out on the town in search of a lambada partner, leaving
Matthew to fend for himself against his friend's over-sexed teenage daughter (
Michelle Johnson), who's come along for the ride. Soon,
Matthew succumbs to her advances, despite his efforts to break off the affair, and finds himself a repeated statutory rapist, at least by American legal standards. The script plays out like an extended version of
Three's Company, with lots of near-misses and dumb-dumb humor; critics aptly noticed
Caine's apparent discomfort throughout the film.
