Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

I guess I'm midway between the few people who liked the film and the multitude who hated it. With a bit of astute editing, it could be rendered mildly amusing in a bizarre sort of way. But as it is, it way out- stays its welcome. The plot starts off with a reasonably amusing situation, but just gets so utterly bizarre and so sillier and sillier the more it progresses that you feel like leaving the theater. But you hang on to see to what depths it can plummet when the even more dopey characters join the cast. It would seem that the director exercised no control over his players at all, but just let them do whatever they liked. And we all know what actors like to do. No matter how large or small, significant or insignificant, important or unimportant their roles, every single one of them will strive to attract the greatest attention to their characterizations - and nuts to everyone else in the scene! But directors should be a wake-up to the aspirations of bit players. So in this case, put the blame for this debacle on the director first and the players a long way second.

Oliver is a man in desperate need of money so he decides to have his rich wife killed off. To this end, he hires a man to assassinate her only to later have a change of heart. It turns out, though, that the murder has been sub-contracted downwards via a chain of men, with the price getting cheaper and cheaper. Oliver, therefore, amasses an ever increasing gang of oddballs and eccentrics in his mission to stop the murder he instigated.This silly screwball comedy stars a man with an impressively silly name, the (surely) one and only Bob Dishy. This is possibly the actual funniest aspect connected to this film though, as despite being a relentless farce, it isn't especially amusing. Its plot ensures that it is quite episodic in nature and this means that it's fairly fast paced which certainly helps a bit. While it isn't exactly a successful comedy, it is strange enough to be worth a viewing. It's sort of like a poor man's Mel Brooks, even if some of Mel Brooks' actual films sometimes seem like poor man's Mel Brooks films themselves. But the sheer daftness on display here is sort of endearing to a certain extent and, on the whole, I sort of didn't mind it all that much.

Apparently meant to be zany, this incredibly stupid film relates the predicament of "Oliver" (Bob Dishy) who, after being caught pilfering a quarter of a million from his employer, is given a chance, because his father founded the firm, to recompense that amount within 30 days in order to have charges dropped; however, when his wealthy wife, played by Joanna Barnes, informs him of her intention to obtain a divorce, thereby cutting off his income, Oliver arranges for a two-week, million dollar life insurance policy for his spouse with him as sole beneficiary, intending therefore to have her murdered, in this fashion solving his felonious fiscal problem. He then openly asks virtually anyone whom he sees if a payment of $25000 will purchase the murder of his wife, and finally locates a character named Bobo (Bill Dana) who agrees to take on the assignment, but when Oliver changes his mind he finds that Bobo has sub-contracted the hit to another who does the same and so on and on ad nauseum, while a flock of sub-contractors, in this poorly filmed, edited and acted affair, chase about in search of the final $6.95 assassin at the bottom of the barrel, where belongs this weakly episodic movie that is primarily composed of one-liners and gauche physical comedy that rarely is comic.

This is one funny flick. It's about the dead-beat husband of a rich woman who, after finding out she's going to divorce him, takes out a life insurance policy on her and hires a hit man (Bill Dana aka Jose Jimenez) to do the dirty work. When he finds out that the insurance policy is invalid, thanks to the incompetant doctor (Pat Morita) who performed the most discreet physical in medical "hystery"! The husband then tries to stop the hit, only to find that it has been sub-contracted about a dozen times! The round up of the (insane, whacky and unlikely) hit men is so funny that my sides hurt when the film finally ended.
