This is going to go down as one of the lesser films in the portfolios of Shelton, Ford, and most everyone else involved.

My guess is Shelton and fellow writer Robert Souza borrowed an idea from TV's improvisational 'Whose Line Is It Anyway?'

Harrison Ford ainda sabe fazer graça. Pena que o diretor Ron Shelton e o roteiro năo saibam.

The casting is such a mystery that you could be forgiven for thinking the whole process was done by small ads in an LA trade paper.
