Protocol

About This Movie

So, 'Protocol' is this quirky little comedy from Herbert Ross, you know? It’s about a waitress who ends up in a wild diplomatic situation after saving an Emir's life. The pacing has that 80s rhythm—breezy in parts but can drag a bit too. The atmosphere feels like a mix of political satire and slapstick, with some amusing misunderstandings. The performances are solid, especially from Goldie Hawn, who embodies this somewhat naive yet determined character. There’s something distinct about how it balances comedy with a touch of seriousness regarding international relations. Plus, it’s fun to see how they handled some of the practical effects for the scenes—they have a certain charm. It’s a film that has its quirks, for sure.

Quirky blend of comedy and diplomacy.Goldie Hawn's performance stands out.Notable for its practical effects and charm.
