Compared to Operation Taco Gary’s, this was “a dumb comedy made by average people.” Absurd but somewhat amusing, with some funny bits but not very many belly laughs. Irritating that it so often had that feeling of characters making decisions just to get to the next “funny” scene.
Some points for being directed pretty well, with interesting shot compositions. Also for a cast that includes Walter Koenig, Koenig’s wife Judy Levitt (who unfortunately passed away shortly after filming), and Paula Abdul.
Honestly there was a lot of laughter during the screening, but my sense was it mostly came from the large number of cast and crew in attendance. The people directly around me were laughing as little as I was.
