Stranded on Late Night Cable

Ah the 80’s. Who can forget WKRP and RipTide? Two hot shows in a hot time. Well if you are just lucky enough to have Encore and bored enough to be looking for a bad movie, this one is for you. To start off with, I tuned in late to this movie and only could take about 20 minutes. Here is the gist though:

Loni Anderson is a high powered ad executive.
Perry King is an ad guy trying to make it but hasn’t had a hit in a while.
The two end up in Tahiti together after Loni has this tremendous idea for an ad.
Somehow they end up in love at the end.

What to watch for:
- A hot air balloon ride that is accidental, but people who have never ridden in one know how to operate it to keep it in the air.
- Loni Anderson acting like a smart executive in a 180 from her WKRP role.
- Joel Brooks (an amazing resume) one of the classic character actors from the 80s, 90s and beyond. If this guy doesn’t make the 80s move then maybe the bad hair and music do.

Please don’t watch this movie. Please forget that I did.
