I agree! Stupid but FUNNY!

Hey, it's not trying to be GONE WITH THE FRIGGIN' WIND for God's sake. And it's not even that great of a film. But BOTTOM 100? I don't think so. Hell, if anything, it sure has it's moments, from (first off) SLEDGE HAMMER! actor David Rasche and the two leads aren't bad either. If ANYTHING, it should tell you how GREAT those 3 actors were at the time (Rasche, Moore, Murphy) and how easy they were to like if you can stick them with this LAME-O script and still churn out a few big laughs, even if you have to be drunk to appreciate them. Give it a break. Oh, also, give it a decent vote so it gets out of the BOTTOM 100. It does NOT deserve to be there.

It was an ok film for it's time. I enjoyed it. However it wasn't an R rated film in the U.K it was a 15 cert.

It's no masterpiece, but it certainly doesn't belong in the bottom 100. And David Rasche's performance is hilarious.

It was no "Arthur" for sure, but I didn't think it was THAT bad either. It seems like practically everyone on the planet who has seen this movie thinks it is absolutely terrible! I don't get it. I'll also never understand why "Six Weeks" did so bad at the box office. It is a wonderful movie, and Dud's music was absolutely perfect! But that's a comment for another message board.
