to my mind . ax murderer be one of those film like clerk or swinger . it plot be fairly pointless but you watch it over and over for the few really cleaver sight gag and one liner it contain . anthony lapaglia be excellent a an undercover police detective who want his life to be like that of starsky and hutch . he constantly beg his mild mannered supervisor and alan arkin and to scream and yell at him like their bos do . when he show up disguise a huggy bear i laugh my inside out . the sequence where mike myers introduces nancy travis to his family ( myers also play his own father ) be riotous . the sexual undertone of the big heed ( head ) insult to myers little brother be great . it take a little while to grasp the point of why the the old man keep insult the boy for his over sized head as well a to develop the mental image of dad tell his wife to show travis the family photo album . show her the one where he his pant in niagara fall . the whole idea of such a photo be so absurd and pointless that it pointlessness become humor and like joke about pass gas in a space suit or a pay toilet in a hospital diarrhea ward . duh . this scene would make the 3 stooge proud . best see with the guy and after have a few beer .
