Bronson Pinchot and John Larroquette were stars of two hit sitcoms when they did this movie. It was the closest thing to a crossover that we'd get. Pinchot played Balki on the show "Perfect Strangers" and Larroquette played Dan on the show "Night Court."
Wills (Larroquette) and Bobby (Pinchot) both work for Second Sight detective agency. Wills is the wily ex-cop and Bobby is the eccentric psychic who channels a spirit named Murray to help him find people and things. Bobby's psychic abilities cross over to supernatural at times and he needs to be reined in by psychologist Preston Pickett Ph.D. (Stuart Pankin). The agency makes very little money because the amount of destruction they cause usually equals the amount of their fee.
They get a mother of a case when a Catholic cardinal is kidnapped. This case could net more fame than dough, but the two kind of go hand-in-hand.
The movie is fairly funny. Pinchot is the Jim Carrey-like contortionist, impressionist funny man. Larroquette plays the straight role and is decent at it. The situations give a few laughs and there's also a cute little romance to boot. Wills has to learn to love again and just maybe a nun could do the trick.
score 6/10
