Stakeout - DVD

An aging comedian tours the California desert, lost in a cycle of third-rate venues, novelty tourist attractions, and vain attempts to reach his estranged daughter. By day, he slogs through the barren landscape, inadvertently alienating every acquaintance. At night, he seeks solace in the animation of his onstage persona. Fueled by the promise of a lucrative Hollywood engagement and the possibility of rekindling a relationship with his daughter, he trudges through a series of increasingly surreal and volatile encounters.

Jon Cryer (Pretty in Pink, TV's Two and a Half Men) stars as stockbroker Andrew Morenski, who thinks he's struck it rich until he learns that the mob wants to strike him dead! With hit men on his trail, Andrew decides to hide out in a high school, where, with a new punk hairstyle, he becomes student Max Hauser. In the classroom, Max takes his most obnoxious teachers to task, and quickly becomes the big man on campus. Without even trying, Max lands a beautiful girlfriend (Annabeth Gish, Mystic Pizza) and is elected class president. But when the hit men discover Max is actually Andrew, the laughs (and bullets) really start to fly!

Eli Wallach and Charles Boyer co-star in this classic Hepburn comedy shot in authentic Paris locations.
