My Chauffeur


My Chauffeur is a hilarious feel good movie starring Deborah Foreman (3:15, Wax Works, Valley Girl) as Casey Meadows. Casey is offered a job as a chauffeur for a snooty Brentwood Limousin company. The service is mostly staffed by stodgy old men who want to do anything else but work with a woman, especially not with the free spirited and unconventional Casey.

Undaunted, the impulsive Casey quips and wise-cracks her way through the crass gentlemen's objections. She is given a hard time when she arrives dressed like Madonna. When given a man's formal suit, she alters it to a rad uniform. She does have an ally who helps her during her "probation". However, Howard Hesseman (WKRP in Cincinnati) is McBride, a major obstacle and pain who tries to run her out of the business.

Throughout the movie, Casey is challenged with difficult and entertaining clients including a wild rock star, over worked and insulting executive, Penn and Teller, and a few others. Each adventure is funnier than the last. Watch for the scene where she consoles a client who is dumped by his fiance, you won't regret it.The creative Casey also has a warm heart. She extends her service impromptu to a struggling young man trying to impress his complaining girlfriend.

Witherspoon, played by E.G. Marshall  (12 Angry Men, Christmas Vacation) is keeping a close eye on Casey. Sam J. Jones (Buck Rogers) plays Battle, his son. Battle and Witherspoon have a strained relationship and Casey puts a hilarious and new spin on it.

My Chauffeur has a great soundtrack. You might not recognize the songs, but they make for totally awesome background music.

This movie is rated R for nudity and language.
