wow...it could have been so good!


I saw this "movie" when it first opened....everything seemed to have been perfect for a great movie. What better casting??? Madeline Kahn-funniest woman ever! Bob Newhart-amazing legend. Gilda Radner....'nuf said! Anyway, what happened????

I couldn't agree more! I was unfortunate enough to have paid money to see it in the theatre at the time. I remember walking out shell shocked along with the others in the theatre. No kidding, we all were looking at each other as if to say "was that really as bad as it seemed?" The answer of course was yes. Has to be the worst movie I've ever seen. Maybe "The Lawnmower Man" was worse. Hmmm...

What else do you like? Lazy, ugly, horny? I got it all...
