Victoria "V.I" Warshawski is a Chicago based private detective who agrees to babysit for her new boyfriend; then he is murdered. Being the detective type, she makes the murder her next case. In doing so she befriends the victim's daughter, Kat, and together they set out to crack the case.
Well, kudos need to go to Kathleen Turner for actually trying. She makes it a bearable film by force of personality alone.
However none of the jokes really landed. The dialogue is horrible, the direction is flat and looks a lot like a single camera sitcom.
Basically, it's just Kathleen Turner trying her best to salvage a bad film with nothing really going for it. She brought her A-Game to it and that should be recognized, however it's not something worth watching, despite her best efforts.
