A record producer's life goes in the toilet as his focus on the job drives his family away. Will he be able to get them back? Does star Jimi Petulla have possibly the worst wig/hairstyle of the last five decades?
Oh hell yea.
Inoffensive and wildly uneven comedy entertains and keeps us watching despite mixing wonderful moments with hopelessly cliched ones and containing acting that truly runs the gamut from god awful to really good. This film is so all over the place that you won't believe it works. Yet some how it does.
I suspect that it works because it is so earnest that you can't get too upset that it's taking us on a trip we've been on before.
I honestly wasn't expecting to write this film up. I thought I'd try it, hate it and then turn it off and forget it since I wasn't obligated to write it up. Some how the film clicked with me and it acted as a palette cleanse for all the genre films I've been watching.
While far from the best film ever made, it does entertain with enough smiles and chuckles to make it worth seeing.
