A young Robert Downey Jr. thinks that he is a man about down as he goes around in his never ending attempt to pick up women. He is eventually smitten by Molly Ringwald, who is way out of her league in this film. A mobster's daughter, she really has the gambling habit.
The other actors are typically stereotyped in their usual roles. Harvey Keitel as the mobster and the late Dennis Hopper as the boozed up and probably drug taking person are naturals for their respective parts.
Watch out for a very young Christine Baranski in a one scene stealer and of all people, an elderly Mildred Dunnock plays Downey's diabetic grandmother, who apparently even has a guy at the end.
Of all things, Downey is an elementary school gym teacher in the film and fortunately this is downplayed. Let's not further upset our educational system.
