Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A DAB OF DABNEY
This movie has a major plus for fans of Dabney Colman. If you've always wanted to get a view of that prodigious posterior without the obstruction of fabric, this movie is for you. It's worth the purchase price!
Rating:  - modern problems
very funny movie, cool music on dvd no less. classic Chevy Chase one of his better movies.
Rating: - He's got probs!!!!
I loved this movie as a kid and now that I am grown I have found that it is still just as funny. Chevy Chase is one of my favorite actors.
Rating: - Mean Spirited
There are some laughs in this one (I must have seen it dozens of times when it seemed like it was on cable infinite repeat in the 80s) but it does seem unnecessarily mean-spirited in restrospect.
Rating: - so bad it's.... well, it's pretty bad.
I have a sort of fondness for this ultra weird flick. I haven't seen it in ages, but I still recall Nell Carter as the voodoo priestess, and Chevy Chase doing the lines of cocaine floating in mid-air... It's just ODD! Chevy Chase is manic, and somewhat funny in this, and there are alot of talented actors slumming it here.
I don't recall the visible booms and camera equipment (maybe because I saw it formated to pan-and-scan for cable, whereas the dvd is wide-screen), but, the film is definitely not being shown as an example in film schools. It does fit in the 'so bad it's entertaining' category, though. It's like watching a drug-fueled train wreck.
If you like bad, oddball time-capsule films, or if you just happen to be very high in the middle of the night, and catch this film, it is pretty entertaining... but I can't really recommend it for the casual viewer or 'Chevy Chase fans' (do they exist?).
For the record, this film was made by the same creator of 'The Groove Tube,'a 'cult' sketch comedy movie from the 70's also starring Chase, which is actually worth a look. I suggest renting that if you want to see a dated, druggy comedy, over this one.
