Here's another 80s gem, this one featuring the first-time screen appearance of pop singer CYNDI LAUPER. Two hapless psychics unwittingly aid a criminal in his quest to obtain a mystic relic in this farcical yet romantic adventure gem. Street smart beauty-school dropout Sylvia Pickel (CYNDI LAUPER) navigates life with the counsel of a spirit named Louise, while genteel Nick Deezy (JEFF GOLDBLUM) has the ability to "read" an object's past just by holding it. Harry Buscafusco (PETER FALK) is the treasure hunter who brings them together for a trip to Ecuador to find his missing son. Nick and Sylvia don't get on at first, their animosity only amplified by various slapstick escapades that find them posing as siblings and hobnobbing with monied jet-setters. Eventually, Buscafusco's missing-child premise turns out to be a ruse; his true intentions envelop Nick and Sylvia in serious peril just as they're beginning to let down their guard and fall for one another. The action climaxes in a special effects-laden jungle sequence. And in case you were wondering, CYNDI LAUPER does sing a tune in this Z-Grade gem entitled "Hole in My Heart (All the Way to China)", which is played during the closing credits of this mish-mash of special effects and sappy romance.
