Underrated Comedy..., 15 April 2000
7/10
Author: Merely from Brocktroit, Massatucky

with some very funny scenes! John Larroquette is very good and I always enjoy William Daniels. The interplay between them is classic. It is mostly physical comedy, which is apparently not funny to everyone, from the looks of the ratings here, but I liked it. I also prefer Bruce Willis doing comedy. And while capable in the role, Kim Basinger is nothing to write home about.
