Alan OBlack John Ritter is an aspiring standup comic who takes on a job as limousine driver in order to prove to his girlfriend Julie Susan Dey after she has kicked him out of their shared home, that he can be a responsible adult. Her standing complaint about Alan as a boyfriend has been that he sees life as one long rehearsal. This is exacerbated by the fact that, even with a nowsteady job and dealing with strange passengerclients, Alan rehearses his comedy at every opportunity and deals with bizarre situations with goodnatured aplomb. He and his buddy Jay Paul Reiser become involved the shady dealings of businessman Bradley Coleman Martin Short, which results in a chase through Los Angeles with both sides of the law in pursuit.People Magazine bemoaned John Ritters comedy ability being drowned out within the cruder context of Threes Company, and wrote that his ability shines in this fanciful TVmovie. It was expanded that the films story line is silly, but as Ritters character gamely rehearses his comedy act through it all, he shows himself as delightful. ........
