Feds - 4 stars out of 5 stars

Although Ivan Reitman only produced and didn't direct or write this film,it has his innocently but warped style non the less.I don't understand why many didn't like it?
Released in 1988 and running very short at 90 minutes,its a crazy look at the old buddy film themed movie.In this case its women and the FBI agent in training that we get rather  than cops or college.For that alone its worth the look.Also the "buddies"are Rebecca De Mornay and Mary Gross as well as a short role by Fred Dalton Thompson as the agent/instructor in charge and thats all you need to know.I thought the pairing of the nerd and beauty worked well and my only fault was,as in many films,a weak ending.That aside,compared to much of the trash they make today,a film for the whole family thats not a cartoon,er animated that is,ha,ha.Trailer URL follows the picture and a IMDB summary below.

Ellie DeWitt and Janis Zuckermann are admitted to the very strict FBI Training Academy. They get a hard course, in which they learn to deal with guns and to recognise crimes. They also get a physical training. It appears that Ellie is a real fighting- machine, in contrast with Janis, the great student. They have to help each other, 'cause only when they pass all the tests, they are allowed to join the FBI... Written by Tony Kessen <rhkessen@cs.vu.nl>
