11/16: Her Alibi is a well-known Tom Selleck vehicle that looks more of a 90's than an 80's picture.

It's actually hard to pinpoint what went wrong, but I think it's the story that doesn't make sense. Even worse is the possibility of an arrow landing on Blackwood's buttocks from the house which is a good 500 yards away.

I can't say Her Alibi is a funny movie, but it moves well from start to finish. The acting, except for Paulina Porizkova who's more of a model, is decent. Everybody does a fine job of keeping the material as fresh as possible.

Taken from IMDb, "Lead actors Tom Selleck and Paulina Porizkova had such a bad time on this movie that, by the time filming ended, they refused to be in the same room with each other. To make the ad poster for the film, director Bruce Beresford had to photo shoot them both separately and digitally combine the two photos using Paintbox software, so that it looked like Selleck was standing behind Porizkova with his arms around her. Porizkova and Selleck's wife, Jillie Mack, didn't get along too well. Porizkova walked off the set, costing Warner Bros. thousands of dollars and loss of time."

All in all, Her Alibi will do on any rainy Sunday afternoon.
