i will keep the review of this program as short a possible . skip it . low budget and not funny and lousy script . act not quite as bad a the writing and but still bad . that all you need to know and but i will continue for the sake of write more than necessary . this be a film with three segment and each one parody some other type of movie . a much funny film with this same exact idea be movie movie and with george c. scott . very obscure and but worth search out . mm parody film of the 1930 and and do it with elegance and precision and dry wit . this movie do not . it parody three type of film and supposedly from the late 70 and early 80 era and only it be parody film i have ( almost ) never hear of . the first be and i guess and a parody of kramer vs. kramer and in a way . peter reigert do his best with a dirt poor script . the second be a parody and of and i do not know what . a danielle steele novel . i mean and you might see a story like this on lifetime tv and but in a movie theater . i mean and i remember the 70 and i be there . this be a soap opera type parody about a fetching young woman who sleep her way to power . these type of thing usually parody themselves and so i do not see how this be even necessary . we be on somewhat easy ground with the third segment and the municipalians and which parody cop movie . i note element of the new centurians and some dirty harry and both of which be almost 10 year old when the film be create . yeah and nice and current . robby benson play the idealistic young rookie ( over the top wimpy ) while richard widmark play the grizzled veteran cop who drink whiskey while sit in the police car ( oh . stop . my side . he actually drink booze in the police car . how irreverent . ) note that this be the first film after animal house to have the national lampoon name attach . wow . to go in five year from that classic flick to this pile of dung be nothing short of shock . i could go on for hour about the sad decline that cause one of the most cutting edge and original voice in american humor ( that would be national lampoon and the original magazine for about it first 10 year or so ) to sell out and begin a long and slow slide into a world of crap and where now the magazine be long go and it only exist a a brand name to slap on low budget comedy film for a fee . yet another reason why capitalism ( and cocaine ) suck so bad . anyway and this movie be a serious time suck . don not waste your 90 minute . i want mine back . on the positive side and fred willard in it .
