Casey Meadows (Deborah Foreman, Valley Girl), a dishwasher at an Italian restaurant, has just received an unbelievable job offer: the opportunity to work as a driver at the prestigious Brentwood Limousine Limited. Much to the shock and frustration of its posh, all-male chauffeur staff, Casey accepts the offer, but as she begins to settle into her new position, she discovers that working as a driver is more grueling than she could have anticipated. Finding herself having to contend with stoned singers, devious diplomats, and other raucous clients, she's quickly at her wits end, but when she picks up a young man named Battle (Sam J. Jones, Flash Gordon), who's just been dumped by his girlfriend, a budding romance quickly begins, only for Casey to discover that Battle is her bosses' son!

Writer/director David Beaird's light hearted cult comedy, MY CHAUFFEUR, playfully combines comedy and romance with adept observations on sexism and class conflict. A late night TV staple, Vinegar Syndrome brings this 80's classic to Blu-ray, newly restored from its original negative and featuring an all new interview with its leading lady.

Good but Slightly Problematic

"Movie: I was enjoying parts of this fairly well until Penn & Teller showed up (introducing them, per the opening credits). Unfortunately, their scenes are unfunny, go on too long, and are frankly offensive (Teller is playing a middle eastern sheik, but at least it's not _worse_). Outside of that, the movie is kind of episodic, and I thought some of the scenes were pretty good, with quite a few funny moments. Extras: The interview with Deborah Foreman is solid, and it's always nice to have trailers. Not sure of a good use for the isolated soundtrack feature but it's there. Packaging: Bonus points for reversible cover, and I love how the disc lines up with it in the inside."

Quirky ‘80s Cinema

"Simultaneously cozy and comedic with a choice soundtrack. Starring the super likable Deborah Foreman."

— Dillon G. (4/5)

Not much talked about movie

"Glad I was finally able to get this on the New Years sale. I used to watch this all the time on cable growing up in the 80s. It is an odd mix of comedy and drama. Hate seeing this being OOP though."

— Robert B. (4/5)

VS needs to release more from this 80s genre

"Great movie, if you enjoy off-beat movies, and have never seen this it's worth a watch. Can't guarantee others will enjoy it like I do if they aren't sentimentally attached to it but I truly believe I would enjoy it as much if I saw it today for the first time. Deborah Foreman is perfect in this role. All roles are distinct, no one gets lost in the chaos. VS really needs to consider more 80s sex comedies like this"

Chauffeur Review

"Fun movie. I had a good time!"

A Modern Screwball Comedy.

"It is a very zany film that has, at its center, a love story. The cast is great, and all the little adventures had in the film make it a lot of fun to watch. I highly recommend this modern screwball comedy."

— Dan P. (5/5)
