Aggressively obnoxious FX comedy with Chase at his absolute hammiest.

Exacerbating matters is [Chevy] Chase's performance, which is incredibly obnoxious even by his standards.

Another good comedy with Chevy Chase, very goofy, but charming, and I enjoyed it.

The ONLY reason to see this is to see Dabney Coleman as a egotistical author get his comeuppance by way of Chevy's Chase's newly-acquired telekinetic powers. Otherise, do NOT waste your time.
