For those looking for unintentional laughter in their movies, this one is for you. For those looking for a film to take seriously, beware.

Great film? Nope. Good film? Not really. But it made me laugh.

Even the non-discriminating 'tween' would have problems liking this one.

I can remember watching this years ago and thinking it sucks. Still pretty much does, only thing of interest is Cyndi Lauper and her 80's outfits and hair. Her character is kind of good as well - I liked the psychic angle, but Cyndi pretty much plays her quirky self.Plot is lame action adventure with a bit of romance.

fluff like cottoncandy, of interest only to fans of the actors. falk steals every scene he's in, goldblum breathes through his nose a lot as if he's about to say something important and lauper (the main reason for this) has a little fun. mandel and ganz, the writers, have moments of good comic misdirection, too.
