Its look conjures up nostalgia for the 1940s even if it does rely on sexual innuendo and bathroom humor. The opening scene spoofs the director's first big blockbuster Jaws.

Review by chrisfromjersey ★★. While this film, left me hopeful with John Belushi, John Candy, Robert Stack, Slim Pickens, Christopher Lee and (an uncredited) Penny Marshall, it lacked.
