Warning: Spoilers
I've been straining my brain to come up with the point of this story but I'm not getting anywhere. Except for the fact it's got Dom DeLuise and Loni Anderson in it, there's not much more to recommend it. They both portray characters symbolizing human emotions. The apparently guiltless 'Guilt' is handled by DeLuise; I couldn't wrap my head around the idea of him guilting someone for overeating when he was even bigger than the guy himself (Rick Ducommun). Anderson, looking lovely as ever, was appropriately cast as Lovely. That's the way she introduced herself to Guilt, even though her character's name in the credits is listed as Love. As they both profess their fondness for each other, at a certain point they realize that they can't be romantically involved, but then on a dime, they're off hand in hand as a couple of lovebirds. The Casablanca flourish at the end hinted at the beginning of a beautiful friendship, but for my money, the folks who put this together were worthy of a guilt trip themselves.
