PURE LUCK

Martin Short, Danny Glover, Harry Shearer

Universal; Directed by Nadia Tass

Rated PG; 96 minutes; 1991

From the writers of "KINDERGARTEN COP" comes this screamingly funny tale of bumblers, fumblers and all-around stumblers! Operating on the theory that "it takes one to find one," the world’s unluckiest accountant (Martin Short) is sent on a mission to rescue the world’s most accident-prone heiress. Add in Danny Glover as an authoritative, experienced detective who is none too happy about being paired with a living, breathing accident-about-to-happen and sit back to enjoy a raucous adventure as the pair journeys into the wilds of Mexico.
