I remembered watching this film on television as a child and I remember it being very funny to me at the time.
Today, I sat down to watch it again, nearly 40 years later, and I regret it.
It's amazing how our tastes change over the years.
With a star studded cast of well established comedians, you'd think this movie would have an easy time at being funny. Instead it struggles along *trying* to be funny instead of actually being funny.
This movie is a non stop conglomeration of bad slapstick humor, car chases, and people yelling at the top of their lungs over a paper thin plot. It's painful to watch as an adult.
If you're 8 years old, give it a try. Otherwise give this one a miss.
