Review:
One of my childhood favorites! One of the best casts you can find. And one of the best comedies ever made.

Gilda Radner's last movie. Her health became increasing fragile during post-production so her husband Gene Wilder put it aside to focus on her. It was released at the end of 1988 to give Radner one more premiere before her death.

The movie has a very dry comedy to it and is very underrated.
Check it out, give it a chance, you'll love it!!
