This is meant to be a romantic comedy of sorts, leaving aside the fact that in real life, kidnapping is no laughing matter. Although it is entirely different, it has a broadly similar theme to the 1986 Bette Midler film "Ruthless People" in which a woman is kidnapped and held to ransom only for the kidnappers to realise her husband doesn't want her back.
Here, there is only the one kidnapper, and ruthless is not in his lexicon. He is three months behind with his rent and...desperate people do desperate things.
Leaving that aside, there isn't much of a plot but the film is rescued from total mediocrity by a half-decent soundtrack.
