If anybody remembers the name of this film it would be greatly appriciated...

I am pretty sure its from the late 80's or the early 90's

It's about a young man who tries to get married to this girl who is from a very wealthy family, so in order to impress the girls family he finds some older dude who teaches him how to CON his way into making it look like he is from a wealthy and important background.

I can't remember any of the actors names, but here are some key scenes that might help:

There is one part where the older CON man and the young guy are at a restaurant and are trying to find a way not to pay for the check. So the young guy tries to con his way into not paying by tellin the waiter that he is a popular food critic, but the waiter doesnt go for it. so the older CON man decides to use his own method by putting a fake PUKE STAIN on the ground and says that the food was terrible, so the waiter tears up the check...

Another scene is where the CON man takes pictures of the young dude next to cardboard lifesized pics of famous people to make it look like they're real pictures...I think one is taken with Ronald reagan and Prince Charles(?)

Thats about all i can give...if anyone can tell me the name I would really really appreciate it....

thanks

Nope, can't be that. They're both old con men, and there was no puke or cardboard cutouts.

This movie is called the Thw Whoopee Boys with Michael O'Keefe and Paul Rodriguez.

Plot Outline from www.IMDB.com: Two obnoxious and dim-witted misfits attempt to save a school for needy children by attempting to sneak into the wealthy high society of Palm Beach to get the money needed for their cause.

I saw that movie and I absolutley can not remember anything about it. Wow. That blows my mind. I seem to remember some one doing something obscene to a chicken while singing altered lyrics to "Rock Me Amadeus" (Right movie?)...but thats all I remember.
