Most reviewers are confused about this enjoyably bizarre movie's theme. Its simple. Madcap Americans vs commie spies. Get stoned and drunk and invite your buddies. Theres nothing wrong with weightlifting and scuba gear. Did Lee Marvin almost laugh in the weightlifting scene? If he did, was in or out of character and does it matter to the missing artistic unity of this movie? Imagine ,if you will, that youre a fly on the wall when the producer pitched this movie to the moneymen. In fact, now that I think of it, decades of moneymen were convinced to finance horribly ,horribly wrong movies, as I see from the many library vids of poorly known (and properly so) movies. Shouldnt these feeble-minded moneymen have a support group? By the way, Little Shop of Horrors cost only $25K, proof that you and your brother-in-law can become movie producers.
