This one wouldn't have been quite so bad, if they hadn't piled on contrivance after contrivance to get the story going. Joe starts his morning with a headache and wants to take some aspirin, but he swallows some sleeping pills instead. Then Joe's wife Alice reminds him to call people and invite them to their house for a party the next night. Only Joe gets the party-invite list mixed up with his list of people to whom they owe money. Hilarity only partially ensues.
A few miscellaneous gags score, but in these more politically correct days, it's a little painful to watch Alice be sacrificed as the party's sole female contestant in their game of "Post Office"; you half-expect her to come out of the room a lot more disheveled than she does. The funniest gag is when Joe's boss tries to write him a check for his losses of the evening, only to have his shrewish wife refuse to let him do it; as the boss exits, he points out, "See how nice I could be if I wasn't married?"
