Pathetic attempt to imitate the likes of Inspector Clusseau, Curley (3 Stooges), and Agent Maxwell Smart. These classic slapstick characters bumbled their ways into our hearts with expert comedic timing. Tom Arnold just bumbles aimlessly through this movie devoid of laughs. Stanley Stupid (Arnold), patriarch of the Stupid family, suspects there's an evil scheme to steal garbage, and he's suspicious of "Return to Sender" mail. Are you rolling on the floor weak with laughter yet?
Me neither.
Overdone stereotypes, feeble attempts to strain humor from gags that don't work, poorly executed slapstick, a script that laughs at its own jokes while nobody else does, an immaterial story that's nothing more than a vehicle for one banal scene after another, gratuitously violent events that are tossed out at you as humor; the list goes on. I always thought the song "I'm my own Grandpa" was clever--Arnold just makes it annoying. Few movies are more excruciatingly painful to endure than failed and unfunny comedies: this is one of these.
If somebody was stealing garbage, why didn't they steal this?
Me neither.
