Come on people, lame humor, weakly put together story and silly power relations.
Beautiful isn't it, that's what people want and we also thought the effect of this was such that after 94 minutes we shouted on the screen: "A 7"!
Just a movie where the mind should be turned off and the "feathers of amusement" should be high in sensitivity.
Then you will really enjoy yourself with this movie!
Pay special attention to the right 
, lovely type and ... cool!

Dan Aykroyd's directorial debut and at the same time his only film as a director. Despite the participation of comedy-actor friends Chevy Chase and John Candy and the input of Demi Moore, the film flopped enormously.
Justly? I'm leaning towards yes. The film is full of bizarre characters and bizarre moments, which are put on very thick. So thick, that the comic effect that should result from it doesn't work well. The film is at its best at moments when the rarity of the characters and the absurdity of the moments are not exaggerated, but pass as a matter of course. The film generally tries to exploit the grotesque characters and events far too emphatically, destroying their comedic effect.
Fortunately, the film also offers things that keep the entertainment value bearable. The setting is fantastic. Full of details. Both within the main location and outside it is visual enjoyment. Another aspect of the film that I like is the enormous mess that the story creates. That story makes no sense, has no head or tail and is (although poor in content) wonderfully absurd and well entertained.
The comedy quality is disappointing. Still, there are moments that are very funny. Some dialogues. Some scenes. The best moment is the moment when the grotesque character of Dan Aykroyd unexpectedly and completely incongruously plays an instrumental part with the band Digital Underground. That was a real laugh.
But yeah. Creative poverty predominates. The film has too many moments that are not intriguing. Too many uninspired moments not camouflaged with humor. Towards the end, the ideas seem to run out completely. Especially the final quarter is humorless entertainment and is hard work.

Terrible film full of unfunny and lame humor... also some horror elements. A businessman and a woman end up in an absurd nightmare when they commit a banal traffic violation. Reminded me a bit of the crazy Beetlejuice. Demi Moore in comedies is quite rare, but it's clearly not her thing. She has to rely on her beautiful legs and curves. The always nice John Candy plays a double role as cop / daughter of the very old judge. He also knows how to impress with curves 
Also a small part for hip-hop legend 2Pac Shakur. Not my kind of humour.
