I'm trying to find a movie, the problem is I don't know the name of it or remember much about it. I saw it around 1992, it was the Saturday afternoon movie on the local Fox station (I think) so this isn't exactly a big film.

The film was a bit of a buddy cop movie, though with the straight laced one female, both white. The plot ended up being about rigging the New York state lottery using magnetized balls. I remember that the end of the film was on a barge in the harbor, the whole point was the drawing was huge so they were making a spectacle of it.

There wasn't much romance that I remember, but the two had some good chemistry. The theme from Bonanza figured as part of the friendship, sort of the bonding moment between the two of them.

If this sounds even remotely familiar tell me. I want to see this again :)

I saw bits and pieces of a movie called The Squeeze, with Michael Keaton and Rae Dawn Chong. My memory is, it wasn't all that great, but there ya go. Check and see if it's on Netflix.

Funny, they don't have the DVD, but they do have it On-line, and from the few clips I found via IMDB it looks the right film.

I'll have to watch it and see if it holds up, considering I was 13 or 14 when I saw it my guess is not as much. I should do a review of it.

If you think the movie's interesting enough (whether in a good way or bad way), I say, go for it. Harder to review a comedy on this site, but the challenge might be fun. Let us know if you're gonna do it.
