Not exactly the perfect couple, Danny DeVito and Bette Midler, you might say, deserve each other! He is rich and has girlfriends, and she has let herself get fat, and obnoxious. She spends money like there is no tomorrow. When two kidnappers grab her for ransom, DeVito refuses to pay. When they threaten to harm her, he dares them to kill her. Suddenly, the kidnappers are her prisoners. She is so much trouble, and so hateful to them, they all of a sudden realize why he doesn't want her back. As time passes, they become friends with her, and find out that DeVito isn't any sort of treasure either. Midler winds up losing a lot of weight in her ordeal and regains her figure. She discovers that her kidnapper is a great clothing designer, and they negotiate a ransom with DeVito when the cops start thinking that he killed her, and use the ransom to start a line of designer clothing.Read full review

Danny DeVito is an excellent bad guy in this show. You really get to hate him. Overall, this is an entertaining movie, worth watching a few times.

I wish I could find just the soundtrack to the movie...the orchestra is excellent! I had watched the Documentary, "Top of the World", then it was removed from YouTube. That made my purchase Yankee Doodle Dandy. I was pleased to see it sold together.
