SYNOPSIS

Three bozos. One ballet company. Tutu many laughs! From the Zucker brothers, the creators of The Naked Gun. and Airplane! films, comes an outrageous laughfest featuring the zaniest screen screwballs since the Brothers Marx. In this story, high society meets high hilarity when rich widow Lillian Oglethorpe (Nancy Marchand) hires fast-talking, ambulance-chasing lawyer Roland T. Flakfizer (John Turturro) as her legal advisor. His first assignment: to fulfill Mr. Oglethorpe's dream of founding a ballet company. Flakfizer recruits two unable assistants: Jacques (Bob Nelson) a Harpo-like jack-of-all-trades and master of none; and Rocco Melonchek (Mel Smith), a cab driver moonlighting as a pool cleaner, liposuctioner, and toupee salesman. What ensues is an outrageous, fall-down-funny assault on culture and good taste, as the trio makes merry while driving everyone else mental!
