All those great directors, all those great actors, all those potentially funny situations and none of them made me laugh.
I guess it was too much to hope for Landis, et al, to equal the lofty heights attained by "The Kentucky Fried Movie". But in every sketch perpetrated here, there was writing so hopelessly bad that every attempt falls flat without hope of recovery.
No, not even the sight of Sybil Danning matters much. As much as it pains me to say it. Sorry, Sybil.
It's no wonder Landis has failed to get his act together after the first "Blues Brothers" movie. Nothing he's made since seems to have the same level of urgency. And since he's the main contributor here, it's his shoulders that have to take the load.
I guess we knew after this that the ZAZ boys (Zucker, Abrahams, Zucker) are what made "The Kentucky Fried Movie" so funny. So much for a revival.
One star. For the attempt.
