Forgotten gem.

Rating: Null/10 (16 October 1998)

This forgotten classic is probably as funny as "Airplane!" (if not as well-known) The gags come rapid-fire, the amorphous "plot" changes every couple of minutes, and Val Kilmer is surprisingly funny as the dumb old-country boy rock singer "Neek." There's simply too much funny stuff in this movie to describe, but it one-ups "Airplane!" in one respect: The songs. The songs (some sung by Kilmer himself) are hilarious and well-done. From "Skeet Surfing" to "How Silly Could You Get?" (My Favorite, and it's title pretty much sums up the movie) to a warped advertisement version of "Are You Lonesome Tonight?" this movie's soundtrack deserves to be re-issued.
