It's a good character for Dangerfield, one that veers him away from the 'I don't get no respect' pathos that comes too easily to him, and enough attention is paid to the minimal plot to integrate Dangerfield's classically constructed one-liners.

Dangerfield dominates most the film, happily upending everything around him.

Dangerfield's best cinematic offering, but it's the late Sam Kinison's cameo that steals the show.

The film is a good-natured potpourri of gags, funny bits, populist sentiment and anti-intellectualism.
