Warning: Spoilers
Yet another example of a great idea gone to waste.

Patrick Warburton in the monotoned delivery of the hard-bitten private eye noire - what could be better ? Well, apparently even a rock slide would be better than this crapola, which is a total spoiler from the first minute to the last.

I watched it from start to finish, like you watch a stage act which goes from bad to worse - you want to look away but something compels you to keep looking.

The script must, repeat MUST, have been written by an 8 year old. And his uncle must be a film producer, and his dad a director - how else could this have actually made it to public release ? As I said, I watched every minute of this film, and there was not a single laugh, giggle, snicker, or guffaw in the entire thing. I did let loose an involuntary titter at the final fake gag reel, with the "rogue wave", but that was it.

Pure, unmitigated, 100%, grade A, totally and completely garbage, every single line, whisper, look and stance from all the actors.

Probably the shame being seen in this drivel was causing the actors to make small movements, so they weren't noticed, and run quickly off-set once their piece was finished.

Unfunny, un-clever, very boring, very dull, very dumb, and another huge waste of an idea that really could have gone somewhere and produced a great movie.

Flush it away and try & forget it was ever really there at all.
