The original Broadway musical wasn't great, but at least had it's interesting moments. With the single exception of Durning's wonderful rendition of "The Sidestep", this is a total and utter waste of money and time. The Chicken Ranch fiasco was a minor embarrassment for its county, but this musical proved to be the major embarrassment of Reynolds career. Combining this and At Long Last Love, a law should be passed prohibiting Burt from ever trying his hand at musicals again. Parton is better than her material, but DeLuise's utter buffoonery is much more indicative of the general Cannonball-Run-like atmosphere of the entire debacle.
