oh my goodness this is bad

Rating: 2/10 (28 January 2005)

Wow! being a huge fan of John Belushi, i thought any movie involving him would be at the least tolerable. but this is extremely bad. i would expect more out of Steven Spielberg as well. keeping in mind the date this move was made and the fact that Belushi was dead not long afterwords makes it even harder to stomach. Belushi was more than just a physical comedy actor. He had loads of talent, and seeing him act out goofy slapstick bits mixed in with one-liners that fall well short of funny without taking advantage of his natural comedic skills makes me yearn for the simple brilliance of Animal House. Sure Animal house was a lot of physical comedy and immature humor but it was also funny, original, and all around watchable. Anyway if you stumble across this movie on cable and think "John Belushi, AND Steven Spielberg were involved? it can't be bad!" take my word for it, it IS bad.
