So bad that it doesn't deserve a review so much as a warning.

I mean, not one laugh. Okay, now if you are a mormon or something and think the Mr. Bean movie was funny because it was mainly inoffensive than this could be for you. There really is no other audience...except maybe precocious pre-adolescents. This MIGHT be worth their while.

Dudley Moore - made me smile once. Richard Pryor - funniest thing in this, and still I did not laugh. Lorraine Newman - the less said, the better. James Coco - seems like a terribly nice guy...I'll leave it at that. John Ritter - no physical comedy for him to do so...basically wasted.

The writer had a single previous writing credit.

I hate to sound conspiratorial, but one does sort of imagine that someone said, "hey, let's capitalize on the popularity of Life of Brian and use this new (or was it old?) script".

Life of Brian had 6 good writers and a cohesive comedic troupe. This movie, seems to have had nothing go right for it.

Watch at your own peril. :-)
