Possibly the least competent comedy ever made, this witless and unimaginative spoof sets out its stall early by changing just one word of the title of its primary target. Billy Zane delivers a hopelessly unfunny performance as FBI agent Jo Dee Fostar, and if you think that gag's bad, buckle up it's nowhere near the worst one. Martin Balsam participates in a Psycho send-up, calling himself "Detective Martin Balsam" and muttering "I feel like I've done this before", while the shower scene (of course) gets a look in, along with Basic Instinct's interrogation and an encounter with Hannibal Lecter. This stuff had been pretty well picked over by the time this turd came along, but I don't suppose that would matter too much if it wasn't made with a staggering degree of ineptitude. The in-jokes are hammered into the ground, no one displays any comic timing, and writer/director/producer/actor Ezio Greggio doesn't seem to have the slightest idea how to assemble a film. Uninspired dreck with not a single funny joke to be found.
