Made on a forty million dollar budget (virtually none of which was recovered), which is all up there on the screen, this extraordinarily unpopular movie is most definitely one for the connoisseur. Dan Akroyd's admirers will enjoy it too. In fact, director Akroyd gives actor Alroyd perhaps a wee too much attention, but Chevy Chase has a good innings too, and I've nothing but praise for the super-lovely Demi Moore and prolific TV actress/writer Valri Bromfield, here making one of her few movie appearances. And as for the sets, to say they are mind-boggling would not nearly do them justice. The make-up people also deserve the highest praise. All the same, this is definitely a movie that will appeal mainly to the connoisseur and one wonders how any investors in their right minds would advance even a nickel to finance a movie like this, let alone forty million. If they had asked me for my advice, I would have told them they had no chance whatever of making a dime. But thanks a lot fellas! I really enjoyed this really bizarre movie anyway, and it didn't cost me so much as a cent!
