i don’t know what the difference is between spoof movies like this and spoof movies like naked gun
all i know is they’re either an absolute hit or a total miss

I think there are too many competing genres at play here to get a cohesive parody together here... is it an old noir/Double Indemnity parody or an 80s psycho woman parody?
I appreciate the attempt to cram a joke in everywhere possible. It doesn't reach Abrams Zucker Abrams level but in failing to do so it's reached pretty high for what it is.
And Sean Young makes it. I went and watched her and Carl Reiner having a chat in 2009 on youtube after this and what a pair of sweat hearts. He was so nice to her and ignored everyone saying she was a problem. What a legend.

Thanks to this movie, every time I hear the “Sha la la la la la” part of Brown Eyed Girl, I picture Armand Assante dancing in high heels
