My daughter and I were talking about this movie a couple of weeks ago. She laughingly recalled it as an "old" movie she watched in high school—and loved it. As we talked, she looked it up on Amazon and ordered it.
Sadly, it's streamed in some countries but apparently not in the U.S.A. according to my online search. However, you can purchase it from Amazon in BluRay and DVD.
We had a watch party one Saturday afternoon, and it was a blast. The movie is still fun and funny. Yes, it's a double-barrel blast from the past.
First you have the music—Gotcha Where I Want You by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Relax and Two Tribes by Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Smalltown Boy by Bronski Beat, and other 80s hits.
Second, you have the starring role with a baby-faced Anthony Edwards, long before he was Dr. Mark Greene on TV's hit, ER, and before he was Goose, Maverick's sidekick in Top Gun. not to mention Linda Fiorentino in her sultry prime.
In Gotcha!, Edwards offered a full head of blond hair and an irrepressible performance as Jonathan Moore, a college kid who just wanted to get laid. Enter Sasha, beautifully portrayed by Fiorentino as a CIA agent looking for a naive asset.
The scene at the Parisian restaurant where Jonathan orders a drink is priceless.
TAKEAWAY TRUTH
Forget all the doom and gloom and today's movies that make little sense and have even less entertainment value. Add Gotcha! to your home video library. You won't be disappointed.
