One of those many comedies shot in what seems an endless summer of 1987, Dirty Laundry at paper has all the elements in place for a nice harmless comedy but ultimately lacks content to make it really worth watching again.

A laundry bag filled to the rim with dollars in it gets switched and to the trunk of Jay, typical comedy type of the era with no plans for the future and only his car to his name. From here the movie could’ve still taken multiple interesting routes, but the rest of the movie is pretty much him and his girlfriend running away from the thugs.

Although the movie is by large a missed opportunity, it does manage to push many right buttons if you’re in for another late 80s comedy you haven’t seen before.
