Interesting now only as a better-forgotten relic of a time in which people actually paid full-ticket price to see Martin Short in a movie.

Martin Short is brilliant. Nick Nolte just beats him up a lot in this film, you can almost feel his pain. The little girl is also weird. Watch it for Martin Short, unless you don't like Martin Short, then you shouldn't watch it.
