The title is taken from the Shakespearean play "Hamlet", Act 3, Scene 1, line 58, which is the famous "To be or not to be" speech. In the movie, Long's character confesses to a classmate at the beginning of the movie that she someday hopes to play Hamlet.

Citas:

Sandy Brozinsky: Look, Frank. We're not just jerking you around. Some guys are after us because one of them stole a virus that's gonna kill and destroy all the plants and all the trees all the way around. We stole it back, so now they're gonna kill us. You get it?
Frank: Jesus. The sixties sure were good to you, weren't they?
Lauren Ames: Frank, that's right. Think back to the sixties. People did things for each other.
Frank: They were wasted.

The Last Time

Too outrageous!

Average 80's formula comedy that delivers just enough for the viewer not to really regret watching this one.It all rides on Long and Miler who carries the film despite too outrageous and clumsily handled gun encounters which were critical for the credibility of the story.Too bad becouse the story had something going for it.Do not expect much but it does ok for Long and Midler fans and for fans of those comedies with action scenes towards the end.....
