Critical reception
[edit]The film was critically panned. From Chris Willman ofThe Los Angeles Times:
Possibly the worst film ofthis festival,or any festival of repute, ever. Director Stephen Tobolowsky and writer J. Barry Armstrong will no doubt take that passing hyperbole as a compliment, so heartily have they endeavored to make an awful camp classic, and how one wants to deny them even that satisfaction. Based on an equity-waiver revue, this foul-mouthed, free-wheeling, laughless comedy about two misogynist slobs trying to make it in show-biz is mostly for those who would likeSam Kinisonif only he weren't such a heady guy.[1]
