I thought this one was going to outright suck like a lot of the other movies we watch, and really like.
And then as I was watching it I was like, this is almost too good to be bad (and great). When Ed McMahon, who plays a Mcarthy-ite CIA agent, says, "I've heard of being long in the tooth, but thats... too long." I realized this is actually too good to be bad-good.
Although we didn't finish this one either, this is a movie that I'd actually take another look at.
Reflecting dollar store versions of the humor of Woody Allen, Leslie Nielsen, and Mel Brooks, it's legitimately off the wall, in a good way. Loads of stinky one liners, but enough of them are actually... amusing?
If you too are a fan of really bad movies, consider this top shelf. Maybe one day I'll finish it.
*I finished it. It sucks, in a bad way. I recant every compliment I paid it. Still, it's better than anything in the theaters today.
