Kevins Cousin allein im Supermarkt (1991)

Kevins Cousin allein im Supermarkt: Directed by Bryan Gordon. With Frank Whaley, Jennifer Connelly, Dermot Mulroney, Kieran Mulroney. Jim is the dorky son of a local cement contractor who lives at home and has no direction. Josie is the gorgeous daughter of a wealthy businessman who dreams of leaving town. They find they have a lot in common.

“Frank Whaley plays Jim Dodge (Frank Whaley), a thoroughly annoying smart-mouthed wise-ass waste-of-space with a dead end job as a night janitor in a supermarket. Jennifer Connelly plays Josie McClellan (Jennifer Connelly), a poor little rich girl desperate to get away from her millionaire daddy (who beats her). When Josie chickens out of shoplifting at the last minute, she is locked in the shop for the night and meets Jim (as he roller-skates down an aisle in his boxers and a wedding veil!). Together they do a bit of collective soul-searching, swap sob stories and decide to run away together. However, their plans are interrupted somewhat when a couple of gun wielding thieves break into the store…u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDespite being written by top teen-movie maker John Hughes and featuring a pretty decent cast (John Candy has a cameo and the two leads are both capable actors), Career Opportunities (AKA One Wild Night), is a rather weak comedy with irritating characters and very few laughs.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI, like most males who have reviewed this movie on IMDb, do agree, however, that it is worth viewing if you are a fan of Jennifer Connelly and her very impressive curves. The delectable JC looks stunning in a tight white vest and standout scenes include her rollerskating through the shop, and rocking slowly back and forth on a supermarket horse ride (a moment guaranteed to raise the blood pressure of all heterosexual men).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBut of course, Ms. Connelly looking damn fine doesnu0026#39;t make this a great piece of film-making (just great eye-candy), and ultimately this is a rather desperate u0026#39;comedyu0026#39; that comes nowhere near to the matching the quality of Hughesu0026#39; 80s output.”
