He’s ruined his credit rating, run up his phone bill, cancelled his plane reservations, locked him out of his house and now he’s trying to steal his girlfriend. Meet Madeline (Virgina Madsen – Sideways), she’s blonde, brilliant and waiting for the sparks to fly in this hilarious, much-loved 80s love-triangle with a difference.
