I wasn't sure about watching this film, but am glad that I did.
It is not exactly high brow but Chevy Chase's performance was a cut above his average fare. It just shows that inspired material can inspire actors to reach greater heights than perhaps is their norm.
I may be focusing on Chevy Chase, but this was basically a one man show. The (reasonably large) supporting cast were all very jolly but had little input than to enhance Chase's character. Some of the younger actors went on to appear in other 80's and 90's films, for example: Geena Davis.
Definitely worth a look, but concentration sometimes needed as locations can jump without notice.
