Dana Carvey does his SNL skits and tries acting in the last 20 minutes or so. A semi-decent storyline is irrelevant for his humor, which is OK. I like Carvey and his impressions - there's plenty here - but I'd rather watch him on TV than in this movie. It's a little fun, but the hook towards the end is more than a little jarring and signals that the fun is over.
