I've never seen a movie so shamelessly throw boobs at the screen to get you back on board. A lame PG whodunit turns into sleaze in the last 20 minutes out of nowhere. It's like the director left for one day then his creepy uncle took over and he came back all "holy moly what did you doooooo" Charles Durning is so big that objects started to get pulled into his gravitational pull. I get fat jokes are easy and lame, but oh my, he started to turn around and just kept on going.

The first 25 minutes are so good, I was literally on the edge of my seat, glued to the screen. Then the rest of the film happened...what a shame.

Starts off okay, then completely falls apart... with hilarious results. Always a good idea to switch main protagonists halfway through your movie.
