This is definitely a strange film. It offers a good mixture of action and humor yet it's a tough film to get involved with at times because of the convoluted plot. There were also a few roughed-edged characters I just didn't like, frankly. Each time I was ready to give up on this film, something really interesting would happen, though, to keep me watching.
I realize this film offers a lot of "inside" stuff with a bunch of directors making cameo roles. Perhaps if I knew who all these guys were, it would make it better. Regarding to the main actors, Michelle Pfeiffer plays her normal somewhat-seedy role and Jeff Goldblum's "Ed Okin" does so many stupid things that a person would simply never do in situations, that it gets ludicrous.
All in all, a curiosity piece worth seeing but I am reluctant to recommend it. As the cliché goes, it's probably a film you'll either love or hate. One good thing: John Landis directed it and he has directed a ton of entertaining films
