I watched this movie some years ago, one night I couldn't sleep 'cause of a bad case of flu. It was 2 am, and nothing else was on TV, only infomercials. So, I started to watch it and caught my attention immediately. OK, there are a bunch of bad jokes, but I laughed like crazy, and for an 80's movie, it's quite good. I can't find the DVD south of the border, but if I do, of course I'll buy it. I remember great performances of Treat Williams in "The Substitute" saga, but this is priceless. Not the best, of course, but fun to watch. Can't deny it, it's a little guilty pleasure of mine, but I can't remember seen another movie like this one. Perfect to watch if you got nothing better to do.
