"Hot to Trot" is a comedy film released in 1988 by Warner Bros.. It stars Bobcat Goldthwait as an investment broker, Dabney Coleman as the head of the company Bobcat works for and John Candy voices a horse that helps Bobcat's character make smart decisions in investing. The original music score was composed by Danny Elfman. The film's tagline is: "When I talk, you're gonna laugh yourself hoarse." The film was commonly shown on Comedy Central in the 1990s.

Plot

Fred Chaney (Goldthwait) inherits a horse named Don from his dead mother. He discovers Don is a talking horse (he can also speak the language of several other animals), who had belonged to his father. He also discovers Don has a talent for picking out great investments in the stock market. After a couple good tips, Fred is reluctantly given a job as a broker by his step-father Walter Sawyer (Coleman). After a few disasters, including a bad tip involving poisoned animal feed, the two are left penniless, but with one last chance: to enter Don in a horse race which will win them all Sawyer's prized horses, along with Satin Doll, a beautiful white horse Don has a crush on. Don (having entered the race from the "Pepperidge Farm" stable) wins the race, after a promise of getting his teeth capped spurs extra speed out of him, enabling him to win the photofinish- which showed Don sticking his teeth out over the finish line first. They both get the girl of their dreams and the film finishes happily.

Production

The original cast for the film included Joan Rivers in Bobcat Goldthwait's role. Elliot Gould was the original voice of the horse. After a poor test screening of the film, the horse's half of the script was rewritten by future "Monk" creator and executive producer, Andy Breckman, in an effort to make the film funnier. John Candy was hired to re-record the horse's voice; he ignored the new script and improvised the dialogue instead.cite web |url=http://www.wfmu.org/LCD/19/bomb.html |title=Anatomy of a Bomb |accessdate=2007-11-25 |last=Breckman |first=Andy |date= 1997 |publisher=LCD Magazine (WFMU)]
