Were they going to be left hanging? The movie stars Robin Williams as Joey O’Brien, the car salesman, who addresses the audience in confidential asides, like Tom Jones or Alfie. He has a lot of problems, most of them revolving around women. He likes women, he has trouble resisting them, and he spends a lot of money on them. That means he’s usually broke, and if he doesn’t sell a dozen cars at the dealership’s big moving sale this Sunday, he may lose his job.
We meet some of the women in his life, including his mistress (Fran Drescher) and his ex-wife (Pamela Reed), and we also get a look at the
