Ok...

All I can remember is this guy was getting married and he wanted one last thrill. He wanted a Lamborghini, but couldn't afford on so he goes to a place that makes Lambo replicas, much cheaper. He sat in a room with a big screen that showed his options and in front of him was a pad that had a green and red button, green for yes, red for no. The only option for the car he didn't get was the extended warranty.

So he gets the car and as soon as he gets it it starts breaking, the sunroof shuts on his hand, the doors fall off etc...

At the end he finally gets the company to fix the car.

Ring a bell to anyone?

It Takes Two!! I was dying to know that one too!!

Is this it?

Q: I am trying to remember the title of this 80s movie. I don't remember too much about it other than a guy that was getting married but before they got married he went to buy a Lamborghini Countach like car. He was only going to buy the basic model but the sales woman got him all worked up into buying all of the options available. The car turned out to be junk.
The one line I remember from the movie was when he called the warranty information line and was told "I'm sorry Giuseppe cannot help you." Or something extremely close to that.

HBO played this movie all the time in the 80's.

A: The name of the movie you're looking for is called "It Takes Two".

Sorry, jacoby_mccall but that movie was indeed titled IT TAKES TWO. I've seen it a million times. My guess is that the title has been changed (not the first 80s movie to have its title altered for whatever stupid reason) because the only thing that comes up on search is that horrid Olsen twin movie. I've been searching for this movie for awhile with no luck.

It is It Takes Two. It stars George Newbern as the kid who wants the car, and Kimberly Foster as the sales chick Jonni who sales him the car. Leslie Hope is the girl he is supposed to marry, she was also the lady who plays as the mother in Never Back Down.
