Best pocket pool and the best male orgasm (sm spoilers)


In a grossly uneven comedy like this you can really see who can act - and it's not Robby Benson. His sense of comedy would make Jerry Lewis queasy:

Robert Culp with his pen flipping through the air, (the "Jaws" theme was too cliched for oral sex,) and all his lines while under blankets dying; Christopher Lloyd as the pocket pool playing killer who maybe plays some folk music; Barry Diamond in an addict, Bobcat Goldthwait riff. Then smaller, good parts by Julie Kavner, Olympia Dukakis, Margaret Whitton, Elisha Cook Jr. and Mary Woronov. Just an amazing cast...weighted towards the last segment, "Municipalians."

Some additional good news is that Kurt Sjoberg as the "Suicide Cop" can save you the time and effort of viewing "Penn and Teller Get Killed."

I suspect most of those who rated this movie near its current average around three just didn't get past that deadly first segment. A more accurate rating for the whole film would be around five or six, in my opinion.
