Joel Kiefer (Stern) gets the chance to move up, he has the knowledge but doesn't really feel at home in the snobbish world of his big boss Mr Roalvang (Plummer).

However, if he wants to have a chance at the big promotion, he will have to adapt, otherwise the promotion risks being given to his colleague who is only too eager to climb the ladder at all costs.

During a luxurious outing organized by Mr Roalvang they get the chance to prove themselves.

It won't be easy for Joel, his wife doesn't want to come at first, her boss (the sleezy photographer Carlos) who likes to photograph people with angry expressions on their faces also gets involved and if that's not enough, sexy Mrs Roalvang tries to seduce Joel while her husband is present.

Arielle Dombasle plays the seductive Mrs Roalvang wonderfully, but the most hilarious role goes to Fischer Stevens as Carlos.

This mix produces some fun and hilarious scenes, everyone plays their role well and the 80s atmosphere is very much present.

In short, a nice comedy.
