Very sick, Very ahead of its time! The background is very camp, and reminds you of the old fifties cartoons. The same style of sets and I like when they use people but never show there faces. however this similarity stops there.

Most of the stories are clever and funny with a bit of sick humor and or gross context thrown in. The gags are mostly funny because there taken to their extreme. Like the old WB Coyote falling from the highest cliff over and over and over. Or they play out what we all would like to be doing in real life. They can even poke fun at themselves and do so often. I love them and recommend them to anyone with a good sense of humor, but they are not what I would show my kids.

This was an obvious attempt at a silly fantasy that like most Chevy Chase movies can not be taken too seriously. Typical Chevy is down and out with nowhere to go but up. After a run in with a tanker truck hauling waste he discovers his new powers of telekinesis. The rest is mostly slapstick with a twist and getting back a Dabney Coleman's character. Nell Carter has a fun little bit as a housekeeper that practices voodoo. She senses something is wrong and tries her spells to gain control. There is but one great Chevy movie but this by any means was not an awful movie!
