Shouldn't a satire be funny and not poorly ape a satire that was?
I can't believe the mass of talent in front of the camera (and some behind, like Bernstein). Funny? Nope. I didn't even chuckle. It was like having my teeth cleaned with limburger. The constant and flat references to Dr. Strangelove made it all the more unbearable.
So smug. So slow. So what? I couldn't even finish it. Then I find this was written and directed by the man that talent and character forgot, MM. That made it kind of a curiosity, but for all the wrong reasons. And shouldn't Rip Torn have just thrown the script in the trash with a "Nobody needs money this bad" snarl?
Yet another blindingly bad film with SNL and SCTV comics (who have been so funny elsewhere).
