      Audience Member For some reason the vhs copy i have of this is only an hour long instead of the one hour 25minutes its supposed to be so there is no build up to anything at the start! These 2 young guys are thrown in a weird jail and we just figure out why they are there! Average 80's style comedy which seems like its going for the quirkyness of waitress or squeeze play but unfortun ality is not really that funny and so we lose interest early on. The prison set up is interesting at first but the quirky characters are never looked into its just about these 2 guys who are as dull as dish water and no fun to watch. A young rosanna arquette turns up but has very little to do but paul sorvino is fun as the warden of the prison. The story leads up to a jail break and a poor restling match and some nonscence about an alien dog. Its ok but there are loads more 80's comedys out there that are better than this. Its just not funny enough or even cheesey enough for that matter to hold your interest! Maybe the lost 30minutes of this film would have changed my view on this! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
