In Cleveland, the histrionic and clumsy executive Nelson Hibbert expects to be promoted to president of the Nigel Industries since he is engaged of the owner's daughter. However, his future father-in-...( read more  read more... )law Mr. Nagel chooses the executive Ken Daly for the position, and Nelson threatens him in front of the board of directors. Later he decides to pay a visit to Mr. Nagel but finds him dead with a knife in his neck. Nelson removes the knife and is covered of blood, becoming hysterical and leaving the office assuming that he is the prime suspect. However, the surveillance cameras disclose the identity of the killer, and while Nelson escapes to Metcaf believing that he is chased by the police, the killer is pursued by the police and tries to eliminate Nelson believing that he is a "super-cop" on his trail.

    I am a huge "Kids In The Hall" fan as well as a HUGE "Newsradio" fan. This lends itself to being a big Dave Foley fan. This movie was just not great. It had some laughs...it had some good laughs, but truly it was more of a "Kids In The Hall" sketch stretched out for a full hou...( read more)r and a half. I love the sketches as much as anyone, but there is a reason they are short and sweet...they work that way. This should have been the same. Dave Foley is wonderful (and there are a few "Kids" cameos as well as some belly laughs) and Jennifer Tilly is a sexy beast, but... If you want a few good laughs when the queue is empty, check this out, but no need to go out of your way.

    Not a great movie, not a bad movie. Good for when you have nothing better to do.

    Hilarious premise. A few funny moments. Very Kids in the Hall-ey.

    Took me a second viewing to get into it, because it's mainly a drawn out, silly 4-minute sketch. Dave is still a comic genius, but the plot could have had some more substance to it. Best parts are Dave's flip into the garbage bin and the band Barenaked Ladies singing acappella ...( read more)around a flaming trashcan.
