Dirty, Rotten Scoundrels (1988)

Frank Oz directs Michael Caine, Steve Martin and Glenne Headly in this con man comedy.

Never really laugh out loud funny but consistently amusing throughout – an innocuous little time waster. Star power keeps it coasting along and Headly is the highlight as the naive tourist they set their sights on. Much more than a foil to the big name improvisation and mugging she really should have gone on to bigger things after such a delightful breakout role.
