Romantic comedy (in name only) starring Robert Downey as a young lothario who is ready to throw away his little black book after meeting museum tour guide Molly Ringwald.  Stupid plot has Downey believing 50-year-old lush Dennis Hopper is Ringwald's boyfriend (he's her father) and getting mixed up in their mob troubles.  The unfunny dialogue is delivered mostly by Downey who is supposed to be charming, but is merely manic; Ringwald, meanwhile, looks nice but has nothing of interest to say.  About as romantic as a backseat quickie between strangers.  Spoiler alert.
