An American dark comedy film released in 1991 in the United States, directed by Jonathan Wacks. The story follows Tom McHugh (Ethan Hawke), a shy teenager who decides to ask out his neighbor, Geena Matthews (Teri Polo). To impress her, he borrows his older brother Craig's (Brian McNamara) car and identification. However, the evening spirals into chaos as Tom is mistaken for Craig and becomes entangled in a series of dangerous events — pursued by mobsters, the police, an irate florist, and discovering two dead bodies in the car's trunk. Geena is kidnapped, and Tom must navigate the turmoil to rescue her and clear his name. The film blends elements of comedy, thriller, and romance, exploring themes of identity and coming-of-age. Despite its star cast and dynamic plot, the film received mixed reviews from critics and grossed $6.2 million at the box office.​
