Best Kept Secret of Such a Fantastic Comedy!Little known or remembered flick from the 80s, now nostalgic for the costume designs alone, I remember this movie as being hysterical and cleverly done. A sweet couple attempts to be more Ruthless to get back at a boss who stole the wifes skirt design of spandex and kidnap the bosses wife asking for a ransom. What they don't realize is that he was trying to think up a plan to kill her off before they kidnapped her! Such a great movie and without needing todays world of sex and language to make up for otherwise poorly written scripts. This movie is a truly wonderful find!.Score: 5/5

Worth The Cost of a rentIt is exactly that --- a welll written comedy. The unscrupluous caharacters are a least likeable and certaily believable. And there are, for me, smiles and chuckles and a few really good laughs all the way through. Bill Pullman acts brillaintly as "the dumbest person on the face of the earth". It's a fun watch..Score: 4/5

Самой заветной мечтой Сэма Стоуна было избавиться от своей сварливой жёнушки. И вот его день настал: жену похитили с целью получить кругленькую сумму.

Но он ещё не подозревает, что его жена обладает способностью наладить дружеские отношения даже с бандитами.

To kidnappere får sitt livs sjokk når de kidnapper kona (Bette Midler) til en meget rik mann (Danny DeVito), og truer henne på livet. For tro ikke at mannen blir fra seg av sorg og betaler ut løssummen ved første anledning. Nei da, han gjør akkurat det motsatte. Med glede nekter han å betale, og man aner feststemning over muligheten for at kona snart kan dø! Og ikke lenge etter skjønner kidnapperne hvorfor; dama er en pest og en plage og de får så mye kjeft som de aldri har opplevd før. Men med tiden får de høre hennes side av saken også, og da skjønner kidnapperne at mannen ikke er noe bedre han heller. Faktisk virker det som om ekteparet endelig har funnet den perfekt løsning på sine problemer!

Top Secret! summary, synopsis, reviews
Top Secret!Comedy2002

The second of Zucker-Abraham-Zucker's theatrical-feature spoofs (Airplane was the first, discounting the patchwork Kentucky Fried Movie), Top Secret! lampoons practically every film genre. Specifically, however, this is a hybrid of an "Elvis" movie and a World War II "underground resistance" thriller. In his film debut, Val Kilmer plays Nick Rivers, a Presley-like American rock idol sent behind the Iron Curtain on a goodwill tour. Before long, he is involved in a complex espionage scheme thanks to beautiful Lucy Gutteridge, the daughter of a scientist (Michael Gough) held captive by the Communists. Also essential to the action is flamboyant resistance leader Christopher Villiers, who behaves like Victor Mature in Betrayed (1954) and talks like James Mason. Adhering to Z-A-Z's cheerful disregard for people, places and events, the East Germans are depicted as Nazis, while the Underground is comprised of Frenchmen. The plot is mainly an excuse for the Z-A-Z team's fondness for joke-a-minute lampoonery, skewering cinematic targets ranging from The Blue Lagoon (1980) to The Wizard of Oz (1939). As in Z-A-Z's other efforts, Top Secret! scores its biggest yocks when invoking cliches that we never realized were cliches-and falls on its face whenever attempting a too-obvious gag (the biggest clinker: that pigeon statue in the park). Everyone has his or her favorite bits in this film: our faves include the resistance fighter named Deja Vu ("Haven't we met somewhere before?"), Kilmer's horrible nightmare while being tortured (he arrives too late to take final exams), the army-booted cow, the sensitive Pinto, and the East German National Anthem, sung to the tune of the Shorewood (Wisconsin) High School marching song. But let's say no more: comedy of this nature is designed to be seen, not written or read about.
