...a mostly uninvolving comedy that squanders the efforts of its impressively talented roster of performers...

I just rewatched this movie for the first time in years. And, I really enjoyed it. Everyone went all in and the cliches are funny. Inspector Clouseau meets it’s a Mad, Mad World. It’s on my favorites list.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Funny enough, twists, dilemma, suspense, some hilarious moments and what a cast! All the great names in comedy makes this tolerable. Story lacks a little backbone, but intriguing nonetheless. Good old '90's flair and style. Great cinematography and visually appealing, easy to watch

Unfortunately the naysayers are right. The film has good production values, well known cast, nice cinematography and no story. I watched 28 minutes and finally gave up

A recent discovery that entertained me with its unique take on a Murder Mystery, John Candy is a personal highlight of the film for me.
