It's bad, it's been forgotten, and we can all move on with nary a second thought.

As vulgar and obnoxious as its star. One of the very worst films of 1990.

Look at the star. Look at the director. See something else.

Gets stale after a while, but Dice was still pretty funny.

Funny in a south side of Chicago neighborhood kind of way, but not much more than his stand-up act.

As a stand-up comedian, Clay's repertoire was minimal. On a movie screen, it's insufferable.
