Featured review
This is probably the wackiest movie I've ever seen Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase in, and to have them collaborate on this, of all movies, was a bit strange. The whole thing was odd. The very idea that some small village in the middle of New Jersey exists almost like the Bermuda Triangle where crooks and criminals go in and never leave is something from a horror movie. Then, along with the strange characters in this village of Valkenvania, a music video breaks out from Digital Underground: shout out to 2Pac.
This script was written by Peter Aykroyd, Brother to Dan Aykroyd. Peter wrote a couple of goodies in "Spies Like Us" and "Coneheads," but this one seemed more like a teenage science experiment whereby he just mixed a bunch of random elements hoping for a grand explosion but getting nothing but a fizzle.
