What a Disappointing Waste of Talent, 28 December 1999
2/10
Author: Michael Fleischhacker from United States

Groucho Marx and William Bendix deserve much better material than what they are given here. A bad script with unfunny jokes gives these two talents nothing to work with. Why they ever agreed to do this film is one of the great mysteries of Hollywood!
