Ruthless People

Danny "Sam Stone" Devito is scummy business dude planning to off his wife and steal her money so he can be with his mistress. But she gets kidnapped before he gets a chance to by Judge Reinhold and Helen Slater. Plus the misstress had been planning to blackmail Sam over the murder, but Bill Pullman, her moron boyfriend, tapes a couple having sex in public instead. Because he's stupid...

Honestly the movie holds up remarkably well for a comedy from '86. Except the women's fashion. Which matters because Helen Slater wants to be a big time fashion designer. Man, I can't remember much of women's fashion from that decade but was it really that garishly ugly?
