Not much worth watching here in a movie about a bunch of people who live in a rock stars house while he is away, and then find out he is selling it.

Eddie Murphy, apparently, liked the type of cop movie where you learned things about how police do their business from the cops in the story. He sounds like a bad PSA doing it. Michael Rapaport does not come off as a super-cop. This was only slightly better than Murphy's debut album.

Did I actually watch this?
I like pot, but not this movie.
Although, to be fair, the very next day I had a momentary pancreatitis scare, until I remember the symptoms, as revealed in the movie.

Hard to overlook the glaring ultra-cheapness of this movie.
Or the complete lack of any acting which could be called "good."
The story wasn't too terrible, though. I'm not sure about the ending, but this seems like it was a reasonable short story that could be remade into a passable movie.

A John Hughes movie I never heard of?
Oh! Now I get it. Bad script, bad acting, meager themes.

This could have been a semi-timeless story of firefighters, which was needlessly turned into a tragedy.
John Travolta's terrible acting must be noted.

A lot went into making this movie, the direction, the writing, the acting, the casting... but it is hard to put your finger on exactly which makes it truly awful, since each contributes its own "awful" to the mix.
It also feels like none of the cast ever saw a WWII submarine movie, because they all behave in a modern way.

The perfect action movie to have people watch if you want to give them brain cancer.
Tons of useless screen flashing, repetitive jump cuts, ludicrous fight scenes (one man with two shotguns vs. 10+ men with pistols and automatic weapons), and style rip-offs aplenty.

This one has a couple really unnecessary racist bits in the middle of a movie that is slowish, unusual, and at one point unique.

Very hackneyed. It's like Fonda had pooped in the Producer's studio and they forced him to be stupid for the whole movie. Either that, or he hated the part so much he played it badly on purpose. Shirley Temple and John Wayne fill out the cast of this real cardboard cutout loser.

A pre-WWII drama which vastly overstates the German menace to American shores.
To the best of my knowledge, about 8 agents landed in America for espionage. The movie pretends there are hundreds, right in Congress, and thousands more, which could effectively stop all transportation and war production on a dime.
A total lie, no?
There were a lot of movies before America started fighting in WWII that encouraged Americans to fight, and many of them were decent.
This movie offers very little to that, or any other, genre.
