Classic Dave Foley. It's a very funny movie if you've ever wondered what a complete idiot whose seen too many movies would do if he stumbled upon a murder scene.

This is a great movie. A little over the top, however deliciously hilarious.

It's stupid, but you are let onto that fact about 5 seconds in. It reminded me a lot of the Farrelly Bros., but without the crudeness. Couple of scenes made me laugh, but for the most part I was just shaking my head in disbelief that the movie was as stupid as it was. I would really only recommend this to someone who enjoys and seeks out stupid movies.
