Long Description:
Steve Arlo. Daryl Zero. They have private investigation covered from A to Z. Solving a murder is easy. Living--being a functioning person away from the job--that's hard.

Bill Pullman is Zero: the world's greatest (and most eccentric) private detective, who never meets his clients, but sends his associate Arlo (Stiller) instead; a genius on the job, a basket case in life. Ben Stiller is Arlo, Zero's frustrated front man. Their new case: find a shady lumber tycoon Gregory "Greg" Stark's (Ryan O'Neal) missing keys, a search unlocking a Pandora's Box of blackmail, revenge and murder. But when love zeros in on Zero, the world's greatest detective suddenly hasn't got a clue. In a nice twist, he falls in love with a woman every bit the genius that he is.

Portland, the City of Roses, is shown throughout this delightful film with no one location standing out. There are several scenes at Portland International Airport including Budget Rental. The 536 ft. high U.S. Bancorp Tower (aka Big Pink) is glimpsed several times. MAX light rail is shown, and heard. The St. Johns Bridge in northwest Portland, and Crown Point in the Columbia River Gorge (you can't get there by bus) is shown. The lower part of Crown Point becomes the G. McFetridge Planetarium!

Clever, original screenplay. "Two Thumbs Up, Way Up!"--Siskel & Ebert. Even better the second time around.
