Doctor Detroit

Certainly underrated, but not without fault. The movie is generally funny, but lacks a coherent style, and seems to go through an identify crisis. So it's a comedy, no wait- a SEXY comedy, no wait- a MUSICAL?! Funny enough to waste an afternoon on, but I won't be watching a second time.

Aykroyd works overtime to inject some energy and life into this would be zany romp, but Pressman really has no idea what he is doing or why he is doing it. It isn't funny, and it doesn't help that Aykroyd rarely has anyone talented to bounce off, which is a bad idea because he tends to work best in ensembles. Despite being a rather poor comedy, it is a mild curiosity because it's the kind of oddball comedy that major Hollywood studios wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole today.

Underrated goofball comedy. It's so ridiculous, it actually works.

Weird trivia, via Wikipedia: "Futurama's villainous "Mom" appears to reference the "Mom" in Doctor Detroit, in that her henchmen are all-clad in grey, double breasted, chauffers uniforms, much like the henchmen in Doctor Detroit."

At least the theme as good
