Not a great movie by any stretch of the imagination. Some of the acting and dialogue are cringe-inducing. Still it's hard to hate a movie with Alan Thicke as the heavy, Harvey Korman, and Squiggy in it. Kelly Le Brock with a great Clara Bow flappadoodle haircut, plays the distaff heavy with Mr.Thicke and looks like she's halfway enjoying it.
This meanders along for about 90 minutes, then comes to a typical for the genre and era ending. If it wasn't for the vulgarity you could see something similar any day of the week on the Lifetime network.
There is one transcendent moment, Billy Zane's character gives a toast, ending with "Drink up." Without missing a beat, and with a delightfully goofy grin, Helen slater replies, "Going down, lingerie, David Lynch, Fellini." then immediately drops her wine glass. This made the slog worthwhile for me. Of course Kurt Cobain was jealous of me for a reason, I really am easily amused.
