Ross picks out a random innocent -- a concert violinist named Richard - and convinces Cooper to keep close watch on the "suspect." Completely oblivious of what's going on, Richard goes about his business, while all of his simple actions are being misinterpreted by both the eager Cooper and Maddy, an aid sent in by Copper to seduce Richard. Madness and mayhem ensue when Maddy falls in love with Richard, and both Ross' and Copper's plans go a little awry. [More]

Red Shoe is sharp, clever, and witty as hell, ranking among the most likable Hanks films of the 1980s.

Aimless, lifeless comedy from Hanks' phone-it-in period.
