A 1990 Comedy starring Dana Carvey in his first film role. Carvey plays Eddie Farrel, a con artist. In desperate need for money fast, Eddie's partner Lou (played by Todd Graff) decides to rob a house and Eddie is shoehorned into him. After returning to the house to hide from the crime boss Sal Nickels, Eddie is mistaken by the homeowner's (Jonathan's) parents Milt and Mona Albertson as the housesitter who is their son's friend. From there he meets their daughter Annie (played by Julia Campbell) and from there is encouraged by his mentors Max (played by Milo O'Shea) and Connie to start his first love con, only to find himself legitimately falling in love. | |
