Synopsis
Brian (Timothy) Busfield) has recently divorced from his money-loving first wife Stephanie (Jennifer Grant), and lives with his new wife Calamity (Melora Hardin). Unfortunately, Brian is paying Stephanie so much alimony, he and Calamity must live in virtual poverty while Stephanie lives in a huge Hollywood mansion. One evening at a dinner party thrown by their closest friends, Ron and Diane, a shocking secret is revealed to them. Ron and Diane divulge to Brian and Calamity that they had a professional assassin murder Ron's first wife : "looked him up in the yellow pages, we struck a deal and he shot her the next day." Accordingly, Brian and Calamity investigate this excellent service and borrow money from a surprisingly cooperative bank officer to effect the plan. Things don't go to plan as the hapless hitman, in addition to being completely incompetent, falls in love with Brian's equally enamored wife #2. More complications ensue involving a billionaire member of the "Power Elite", Brat, his daughter, a shocking pink Lamborghini and a race riot. A satirical look at the dilapidation of society due to the excessive growth of material civilization by the director of Life Among the Cannibals
