A comedy detailing the war of the sexes with some new twists, this film stars
Angus MacFadyen as
Houston Blackett, a men's magazine owner whose mother suddenly dies in the Rocky Mountains. His mother has evidently left the estate not to her estranged son, but to her lover, a local girl named
Zane (
Penelope Ann Miller).
Houston is aghast at the news, and his machismo is put to the test in the form of
Zane, who takes no guff, especially from an objectifying type, as well as the people near him, who also begin to turn on him, including a reporter (
Kathryn Harrold) and her tough assistant (
Mary Kay Place). The film also features
Ann-Margret as
Houston's unforgiving, harsh mother-in-law, veteran actress
Millie Perkins as his housekeeper, and writer/director
Karen Leigh Hopkins as a single mother caught up in
Houston's dilemma.
