    Or, Dirty Harry meets the Griswolds. You know that's how the studio meeting went. Unfortunately not fleshed out much more than that.

    I'm not so keen on films where idiocy is mistaken for comedy..... basicly meaning I don't like ANY films with Chevy Chase, but one rainy Sunday afternoon this one was on TV and so I plumped for it.
    Was as daft as I expected!!
