i hat this flick . rodney dangerfield make me laugh often and but not in this film . even in the few line he have that be actually funny and for reason relate to the obviously poor directing and those line sort of fell flat . and that the story of this film poor directing . this film come off a the work of an amateur . and it be no wonder this be james signorelli first major film direct project . and and except for the unfortunate elvira represent mistress of the dark and it be also his last . joe pesci seem very out of place probably a casting error . he just seem to be play the wrong character altogether . maybe this be just a part of the poor directing and but he seem like he wasn not at all interested in put in a good performance . the film have an overall tone that be way way way too serious for a comedy a clear indication of an amateur comedy director . i would classify it a a drama and actually and if i be force to classify it . yet the plot be very hard to believe in and and it would have be so even if this have be film more a a really over the top comedy just completely ridiculous . of course and my first viewing come in 2006. obviously and i may have give it a 2 instead of a 1 have i see it in the 80 . you can safely skip this one and even if you be a big rodney dangerfield fan . if you need to see a movie with dangerfield in it and i would recommend caddyshack and back to school and or just any of them other than this one .
