This movie was set to be given a wide theatrical release, but near the last minute, Universal Pictures cancelled these plans and chose instead to dump it straight to DVD. To date they haven't given an explanation why they changed their minds. Usually when this happens, it's because the movie is bad, but honestly I have seen a lot worse movies given wide theatrical releases. The movie certainly isn't dull, for one thing - it moves from plot turn to plot turn at a fairly fast pace, and there are a lot of wild and wacky things on display, some of which I admit are somewhat amusing. But in the end, I thought that the movie was TOO wacky. It seems that every character is to some degree a goofball, and as a result it was kind of hard to build enough sympathy and interest in anyone, especially the hero. Even in wacky comedies, you need to have someone you can relate to and sympathize with to some degree. Let me say again that this isn't really a bad movie, just one that I think was to a degree executed in a somewhat misguided fashion.
