Trivia
According to "Time Out", "Buck Henry's screenplay borrows freely from both Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) and Born Yesterday (1950)".

Goofs
When Sunny, while in the Middle East, runs for her life toward the OH-58 helicopter that is sitting there shut down, she appears to be 30 to 50 feet from it. By the time she reaches it and gets inside it lifts off and takes her to safety. A helicopter cannot be started and flown in a matter of a few seconds. It would probably take about 30 seconds to get it running and ready for lift off.

Quotes
Sunny Davis: You know what I read the other day? The Declaration of Independence. I mean, the real one. You know, the original, the one in the Archives? Boy, those guys knew how to say what they thought. Talk about simple. I mean, all that stuff about happiness. What government talks about happiness anymore?

above average comedy

PROTOCOL(1984) Goldie Hawn, Chris Sarandon, and Richard Romanus.

In this film, Hawn plays Sunny Davis, a ditzy cocktail waitress who becomes famous around america after she saves a man from an assassination attempt. She gets offered a job working at Washington D.C.

This was an above average comedy, but not as good as some of Goldies' other films.(such as Overboard, Housesitter, and Seems like Old Times)But i did laugh a lot. So if you enjoy a cute comedy, I would recommend this movie.

PROTOCOL: 6.4/10

PG; some sexual humor, brief language, and mild violence.
