The best gags pop up in the closing credits, which should tell you something about what precedes the finale.

There's something tired and rotten about this Fugitive send-up right from the start.

An understandably tired-looking Leslie Nielsen should seriously consider retirement from this tired genre.

If and when you go see it, don't go in with an expectation of seeing something cinematically superior, but do expect a good time.

I'd say it's worth a rent.

Even the audience at the free promotional screening was hard-pressed to find many genuine laughs in this purportedly comic abomination.

Unfortunately, most of the jokes just aren't very funny.

The rest of the cast doesn't look like it's having nearly as much fun as Nielsen is, but they are all exceedingly game and that's all that matters in these movies.

Clearly, Pat Proft was wearing too many hats, and both his writing and his directing suffered for it.

When a film critic starts throwing popcorn at the movie screen, something has to be wrong.

An entertaining burlesque of The Fugitive. Sit down (watch out for that whoopee cushion!) and enjoy the latest Hollywood sendup of films immemorial.
