A fast-paced episodic look at whirlwind European tours. With McShane as the tour guide, a group of Americans embark on an 18-day, seven-city bus romp, which results in madcap antics. A pleasant spoof that, oddly enough, offers a pretty accurate portrayal of tourism. Among the films many
cameo performances are appearances by actor-director John Cassavetes and filmmaker Vittorio De Sica. Inspired by a cartoon which appeared in the
New Yorker.
