Mystery Date (Full Frame)

VHS, PG, 98 minutes, MGM

Ethan Hawke ("Gattaca", "Dead Poet's Society") and Brian McNamara ("Short Circuit", "Arachnophobia") star as brothers on the town -- and on the make -- in this hilarious comedy "with more than a few unexpected twists" (Leonard Maltin). Tom McHugh (Hawke), home from college for the summer, can't get his beautiful neighbor, Geena (Teri Polo), off his mind. He wants to ask her out, but he's too shy, so his older brother, Craig (McNamara), sets him up by calling her and impersonating Tom. Craig takes care of everything for his younger brother's date including outfitting him with a new suit, a great haircut and a huge wad of cash. With the makeover complete, Tom hops in his brother's classic DeSoto convertible and takes off for the city's hottest night spots with Geena. But no sooner do the two of them hit the town than Tom is caught up in a mistaken identity crisis, when he's pegged for his older brother! Before they can even order appetizers, Tom and Geena are being pursued by a wicked crime lord (B.D. Wong), stalked by a wacked-out delivery man (Fisher Stevens), and hunted by a pair of crooked cops. It's the beginning of a hilarious and unforgettable night of madcap mystery and mayhem!. Digital Video Transfer.
