Yesterday I watched a movie starring Frank Whaley, Directed by Bryan Gordon.
Who and who??
Let's start again:
Yesterday I watched a movie starring Jennifer Connelly, Written and Co-Produced by John Hughes.
That's better... I know them!

The movie is "Career Opportunities", released in 1991.
My first time ever watch.

The story of how I came to know about this movie, is that I am a huge fan of "A Flock of Seagulls", and out there is a video of their song "A Space Age Love Song" that has clips from this movie.

Once I had investigated what movie that was, I ordered it.
On the day of ordering last week I discovered something else.
While reading her Wikipedia I learned that Betty Ross is married to The Vision!!
Jennifer Connelly and Paul Bettany played these roles in Marvel movies.

"On January 1, 2003, in a private family ceremony in Scotland, she married actor Paul Bettany, whom she had met while working on A Beautiful Mind."

What did I think of the movie?
It was a fun pop-corn flick, pretty much an 80s comedy set in the 90s, and full of plot holes.
Come on.... a guy working in a locked in Target cannot let the Chief of Police in. He could have used a fire exit. The alarms were not set.
Still enjoyable, and very much a Jennifer Connelly and John Hughes movie!
