Desperately Underrated I have absolutely NO idea why this movie was such an apparent flop, as it certainly deserves more praise than it does criticism.
It is witty, hilarious, and intelligent...probably the 3 things that you would LEAST associate with Sly Stallone normally, yet here you can positively see him revel in them while sending up his own tough guy image every chance he gets. Yet through all this he never makes me cringe as i do when i see Ahh-Nuld in one of his "comedys". Here Stallone really does shine, and seeing him actually enjoying himself is worth the rental alone.
Perhaps its just because audiences couldnt buy Stallone in a comedy movie without machismo and violence, perhaps it was poor marketing, but there is no excuse for this film to be as forgotten or as ignored as it is. If you love the classic Stage-Style comedy parodies (and i believe this is based upon one) this will be a rare treat.
Charming, intelligent, energetic, and funny, it deserves a decent viewing, so give it a go.
