B-MOVIE OF THE MONTH - LENA'S HOLIDAY (1991)

Felicity Waterman plays Lena, a German girl who, after the wall comes down, decides to move to Hollywood. Upon arrival she is thrown into a comic caper when her bags are switched. The second half of the movie morphs into rom-com as she gets involved with a cab driver (Chris Lemmon.) Waterman is excellent in her first picture as she's in every scene, it's a respectable performance in one of Crown International's last pictures. Lemmon, who looks so much like his dad it freaks me out is good here but lacks his dad's charm and sparkle. We have good ole Michael Sarrazin as a cop. Locations and the soundtrack are awesome and Waterman really does a great job carrying the whole picture. I say, give this one a chance if you can find it. Very rare, VHS about $35 and DVD $200. However, if you really want to see it, putchase the B-Movie Blast set of 50 movies from Millcreek which will set you back about $25 and you'll have a bunch of other movies. Enjoy. 2.75 stars/2.75
