Insights
Review Summary

Will You Like This?
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a silly buddy mystery with lots of antics, broad humor, and a light environmental angle, similar to Kuffs or National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1; Not for you if you prefer grounded, smart comedy.

Featured Comments/Tips
The Estévez brothers in a bad comedy.
Weekend at Bernies but with garbage men.
Watched this for Action Boyz. Guess I wish I had seen this as a kid because I was not amused. So many groaners. Oof. It was nice to Chainsaw from Summer School tho. Always a treat.
This is such a great early 90s film. It holds up pretty well too. I remember watching this over and over when I was a youth. I just enjoyed it almost as much as an adult. It''s one of those 4 stars in my teens, 3.5 stars now. Still probably deserves more. Funny as hell with some great characters. Love it.
