I just cannot believe that such epic fail reached the theaters. This movie absolutely lacks script, plot, humour, any intelligible ideas and anyhting else to call it a movie. Never watch it! DVD was trashed immediately after yawning aloud thtough this disappointment and stupidity - thank god it cost just $0.10 in a lot of DVDs I recently bought. Whomever approved this script, paid the filming and the director are absolutely insane braindeads who should be kicked out of the movie business immediately. Still can't believe this stupid reel of film exists. Lousy and pale attempt to reinact the Animal House madness married with a dull, pointless and illogical script.

I really could care less who wins Auburn - Miss State, and i wanted a good laugh, so I turned to an old favorite with Henry Winkler and Micael Keaton, along with Shelly Long, Richard Belzer, and Vincent Schiavelli. You'll even find Kevin Costner and Shannen Doherty in here if you look closely.Winkler got a Golden Globe nomination for his performance, but it was Keaton that got a big start with the film.Winkler & Long were magnificent, and Keaton was so crazy that you laughed every time he opened his mouth. It was a pleasant experience.Great soundtrack, too.

beautiful but comics. It is useless, here you have paraocchi and unilateral ways of thinking. Some films from comics are rewarded while others are attacked, this film is like any other. this kind of movie derived from comic books do not convince many people. to me like, after all most recent film hollwood are based on comic books to produce them means that enjoy. Bel film cmq. Voting 5.7 indicates that on this site of horror films are seen evil. I ask minds indipenenti not to build the judgments of others and to reward and films but without being too strict. I would try to make a judgement more univoo since this site were underestimated masterpieces by Di caprio Titanic and Charlton Heston.

This movie's got plenty of star power there. Henry Winkler of "Happy Days"; Shelly Long of "Cheers" fame; Michael Keaton way before "Beetlejuice" and "Batman". He was a total riot! Winkler plays Chuck Lumley, a lowly morgue attendant who used to work for Wall Street got stuck doing the night shift with a very wild and outlandish partner named Bill "Blaze" Blazejowski(Keaton) who happens to be businessman wannabe. Lumley has a next door neighbor named Belinda Keaton(Long) who happens to be a prostitute. She and several others needed a way to make the money, while avoid two pimps who taking more than their shares of the profits. The two morgue attendants decide to turn the city morgue into the ultimate brothel. They made the prostitutes dreams come true with items they can only imagine having. Lumley and Blaze call themselves, "Love Brokers", and it worked. The competition starts to heat up, and they get the surprise they'll never forget. Especially when the other's gun goes off prematurely on his foot! Though Lumley had a low key, but when Belinda came into his life, he became stronger and puts his foot down on those who pushed his aside. This movie delivers a sense of bolster, and self-assurance. It's a lot of fun, I enjoyed it very well. 3 out of 5 stars!
