why they do it be totally a dark artea for me but one of the most popular thing in hollywood be make americanised version from french comedy . the basic problem be that the original one be mediocre comedy you will give two star and a half and so you can imagine the american result . pure luck be the adaption of le chèvre and a french comedy star pierre richard and gerard depardieu . for the new version they find martin short and danny glover who will always be link with his lethal weapon role . everything start when valerie ( sheila kelley ) and a daughter from a rich industrial and decides to go on holiday herself and a she be the typical dumb blonde who be bear for bad luck and she soon get kidnap . the kidnapper do not know what to do with her a she doesn not even remember her own name ( it would be good they would dump her immediately so this movie wasn not make ) . after several search ton of detective haven not find a trace till some psychologist come up with the idea to hire eugene ( martin short ) and a man who be bear for bad luck as well a the theory say that through this way they will find valerie and but a eugene be dumb a dumb can be he get the help of a real professional raymond ( danny glover ) . well the big problem be that the goal of this film be martin short do slapstickgags and after 5 minute you know when you see a staircase he will fell or when a door be close he will bump into it . and it go on and on and till the moment it really be embarrass ( see the moment when he be stick by a bee and his body swell . ) . funny and no it isn not . and there be no magic between glover and short and and for some reason it be a bit too much like three amigo which be a least tenthousand time more funnier .
