This film was interesting as we had just visited Niagara Falls this past summer for the first time, years after moving from NY and having never visited as a resident. As such, the scenery and the night light shots were nice. The movie progressed nicely, even if you ignored Showalter's highly annoying constantly grinning character. He is the true definition of a sappy dope. Unfortunately, about halfway through, my wife and I were able to predict almost every scene, and especially every aspect of the aquatic escape attempt. Not a terrible movie, but not a classic either. On a funny note, we watched the Anderson Tapes right after this, and who has a bit part in that movie, but doofy Max Showalter, still sporting the goofy grin 17 years later!!
