Storyline
Plot Summary |
The uneventful life of the businessman Charles Driggs suddenly changes when he meets the wild and sexy Lulu. When he accepts her offer to drive him back to his office, she instead takes him out of town and on a trip, leaving behind his old life. Posing as a married couple, Charles and "Audrey" (which turns out to be Lulu's real name) visit her mother and her high school reunion. At this reunion they meet Audrey's violent ex-husband Ray, who has just released from prison. When Ray makes it clear that he wants Audrey back, that is when the real trouble begins.

Did You Know?
Trivia | The two old ladies in the re-sale shop are the mothers of David Byrne and director Jonathan Demme. See more » |
Goofs | When Charlie finds newspaper clippings tucked into Audrey's yearbook, one article has the headline, "Quincy man arrested: charged with convenience store robbery," and another article has a related headline: "Additional stickup's [sic] attribute to Quincy 'hit and fly' gunman." This is obviously foreshadowing about Ray - but if you read the body of both articles, they're really irrelevant reports about foreign policy, mentioning Libya, NATO, the Pentagon, U.S. Secretary of State George Shultz, etc. See more » |
