Comic dynamos Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn pair up for the first time in director Frank Oz's romantic comedy of an architect and waitress who spin wild tales about being married to each other, only to discover that their stories aren’t entirely false. When Davis (Martin) tries to eject unwanted housesitter Gwen (Hawn) from his lovely but unoccupied house, he discovers that Gwen’s romantic lies to the locals about their whirlwind courtship and wedding have captured the townsfolk’s hearts and made jealous the woman who turned down Davis's marriage proposal months before.
