| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Armed and Dangerous |
|---|
Former police officer Frank Dooley (John Candy) and former lawyer Norman Kane (Eugene Levy) become partners at a private security firm and the warehouse they work at gets robbed on their first day.
They are made the fall guys for the robbery and with the help of the daughter of the owner of the security firm, Maggie Cavanaugh (Meg Ryan),set out to find out those responsible for the robbery.
A lot of laughs happen along the way from bumbling idiot security guards to Candy and Levy dressed in drag.
