A rude, sexist and stupid movie like few others, which doesn't mean that one can also laugh a lot with it, due to its crazy comedy. In fact, its first few minutes, in which we witness a hilarious parody of The Godfather, by Abe Vigoda, the unforgettable Tesio from the Francis Ford Coppola saga, are very promising. We will also see in that prologue a funny parody of JFK's love story with Marilyn Monroe. And even another one from Forest Gump. The problem is that once, after this prologue, the nice credits appear and, by the way, shortly Vigoda disappear of screen, the film slips without shame or subtlety down the slope of coarse salt, the plot incoherence and the denigrating display of stunning women, but almost always presented like stupid And the presence of people like Pat Morita or Lou Ferrigno doesn't make it much better. Not even the exuberance and good work of Debbe Dunning, nor some funny musical interludes it has, since the film soon becomes a bad mix of Dumb and Dumber (Peter and Bob Farrelly,1994) and Supervixens (Russ Meyer, 1975). Thus, for example, the entire final sequence of the trial, with the jury made up of playboy girls, is truly embarrassing. Sure, you do get a laugh sometimes, but sometimes it's not so much because of the gags themselves as because of how horrible they are. And it is that, as its own soundtrack makes clear when the word end appears, and it is something that should be thanked to its director for making things clear, the entire film is a misery and shameless belch.
