    This film was funny at times. I find it to be a odd comedy now. But Dan Aykroyd was funny in it.

    An easy going comedy from the 80s. I just noticed Lyn Whitfield was in this movie last night.

    \I wish I could watch every movie ever made but I sadly don't have the time. I'm not interested in this movie because I don't think I'll like it or don't know enough about it to think I might like it. I may still end up seeing it some day though.
