Funny at times but too much like a TV sit-com, 28 September 1999
5/10
Author: rosebud-42

Overall not a terrible movie--but it drags on more than one occasion and the NY jewish schtick is cliched and overdone. Very dated and too much like a sit-com at times, but worth it to see a scorching hot Karen Black and neurotic Richard Benjamin at his peak.
