Funny is the word!, 8 June 2003
10/10
Author: Hera-8 from Auburn, AL

This film came out when I was nine years of age; I didn't see it then, but I remember hearing my sisters talk about it.

Well, years later, I have sought a copy of the film (and finally got one in a bidding war on ebay! yay!) Why the interest? Well, I am a fan of Anthony Heald, and I found out he had a role.

Needless to say, I laughed the whole time watching it. The movie is terrific. A whole miniseries that is a spoof--what a great idea! In the past, I loved primetime soaps like "Dallas," "Knots Landing," and "Dynasty." This film skewers them mercilessly. Bravo!

Oh...and Anthony Heald is just terrific is the bleeding heart son.
