Melissa M @Lisey Jul 15 This movie is a rare sleeper hit. A beyond awesome fantasy, horror, comedy. John Ritter stars as Roy knable a plumbing supply salesman who one day winds up selling more than just plumbing supplies. His soul to a devilishly charming man named Spike played by Jeffrey Jones. Spike offers makes this couch potato an offer he can't refuse. A Hi-Tech satellite dish that has channels that are out of this world. They are actually part of the underworld. It has shows like Northern overexposure & Duane's underworld. They're also shows like 3 men & Rosemary's baby & 30 something to life. The satellite dish sucks in everything. Unfortunately it sucks in Roy & wife hellish television. They must survive 24 hours in order to get released. They start on a goulish game show you can't win, turned into cartoon mice, & wind up in the French revolution where Roy is mistaken for the Marquee. Eugene Levy, Pam Dawber are also in the film. Salt n Pepa have a cameo in the movie.

Ritter does his best to carry the film, and his natural likability makes some of the sillier moments land, especially alongside Pam Dawber. The concept—being trapped inside twisted versions of TV shows—is creative, but the execution feels all over the place. There are a few amusing bits with the parody channels, and Jeffrey Jones and Eugene Levy are decent in support, but most of the humor feels dated and overly goofy, even for its time. It often slips into that cheesy, over-the-top ‘90s comedy style that doesn’t age particularly well. Still, it has a certain nostalgic appeal, and for fans of Ritter, it’s worth a watch just to see him in one of his rare leading film roles. Not great, not terrible—just a mildly entertaining, forgettable ride. See more Derek T @journalforyourself Dec 1 Way better than the score it has, underrated gem. So many clever bits parodying other shows/movies, it's a good time. See more Moshe A @RT50037797 Sep 1 It's a fun simple comedy that has a campy pre teen early 90's edge to it. I enjoyed it. Had some good campy funny scenes to it. If you're too pretentious to appreciate it, you must be miserable as a person and the funnest person at the party.
