Sigh.
All right, so I saw this movie awhile ago and I have no wish to watch it again so my memory is a bit foggy on the plot (that is not cheating, I promise!). Suffice to say, you will not crack a smile once.
This is the kind of pre Family Guy/ Simpsons comedy but minus the laughs. Middle aged fat man just wants to drink but is constantly bothered by the wife (ugh, wives). In this movie, W.C. Fields accidentally foils a robbery and bad jokes ensue. I suspect that some people grew up watching these kinds of films and have fond memories.
I could talk longer about the plot or acting but the bottom line is: it was a comedy that wasn't funny so it has fundamentally failed. Just like Adam Sandler in everything he does.
RATING: *----
Interesting Facts:
The director co directed some of Buster Keaton's short films.
Hehe, dick.
