Imagine a rap song by Ice-T... and Tim Conway! That's how it starts. There are a lot of funny moments throughout the movie. The scene where Tim is in Stella Steven's room is hilarious.
I watched this movie especially to see the cameo by Ernie Anderson. I was disappointed that he didn't get a close-up, I recognized him by his voice.
Most movie guides give this movie one star. Highly underrated. I'd give it two and a half.
If you like Tim Conway, watch this one.
