Modern Problems

“Chevy has the power to make this Christmas the funniest ever!”

Max Fielder (Chevy Chase) is an air traffic controller who has been dumped by his girlfriend Darcy (Patti D'Arbanville), and then a truck of nuclear waste leaks onto him. Soon objects move when he is angry, a power he turns toward winning her back and settling scores with Mark Winslow (Dabney Coleman). Ken Shapiro, who wrote and directed, plays it fast and loose, with Max's temper behind every flying object.
