Slapstick Hysteria

Rating: 10/10 (3 August 2001)

Teasing the audience with an opening spoof of Jaws, Spielberg's star studded cast -- from Christopher Lee and Toshiro Mifune to Dan Ackroyd and John Belushi -- take on the post-Pearl Harbor Attack hysteria of California.

The slapstick is classic. The story is entertaining. The whole experience is simply F-U-N. Nothing more to be said.
Spielberg surrounds himself with some favorites: actor Murray Hamilton, composer John Williams, and Frank Marshall as his second unit director.
