Great Film overall

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

OK so I won't lie friends, I didn't see this movie, but rather I was at a goodwill thrift store today buying shirts and this little VHS gem was hiding under a neatly folded pile of Cosby sweaters on a shelf near the back. I read the posterior of the cassette and couldn't believe the premise of this film. I then looked at the cover and saw Shadow Setvens, and thought to my self, "Man was this guy NOT funny on the old Hollywood Squares, or that show Dave's World". So I set it back down, covered it with Cosby sweaters, made a few glances to ensure no one had seen me pick up that movie, much less read and consider wasting an hour of my youth watching it, and I left. And my life, was never the same.

I have to agree with Robert, the funniest scene in the movie is the farting/exploding scene. When you see this movie, just put your brain on neutral. And you will enjoy it to the maximum. The plot makes no sense and that is why it is a great movie to watch. I just hope that they release it on DVD. And where the heck is Shadoe Stevens now ? I just bought the VHS tape again and I am planning to make my now grown up daughters see it. Slowly bringing them up to date with bad movies. :)And that one was number one on my list. I am sure they will thank me for it. I am sorry but a fart is always a hysterical thing. And the idea that this guy farts enough to fill the car with the necessary gas to produce an explosion....well all I can say to that is I am sure that a lot of people out there had those kinds of days.

This film is very funny, although it is currently our of print. If you desire a cheesy 1980's film that puts a mercenary into the competitive cookie business...this is your film. Shadoe is hilarious! Precilla Barnes is also very good as the mayor of the town that Shadoe Stevens tries to "tame" in order to fund his cookie business. The only problem is that he can not cook! This film is classic overdone male machismo, wrapped up in cookie dough. Yes, it is predictable, but very funny nonetheless. As far as I know, this is the only film where Shadoe Stevens is the star. He became famous for doing the voice tracks and announcements for the original Hollywood Squares.

The only funny part of this movie that I can remember is when the Guziks are in the back of a limo and the reactions on the driver's face in the mirror is just CLASSIC! Unfortunately, he winds up dead and Robert Davi kicks him as he asks what happened. The original credits listed him as "Eric Tilley... Dead Limo Driver". Why isn't he listed in the credits here? Maybe he thought better of it after he saw the finished product...
