This is a bad movie, an embarrassingly bad movie. It is disjointed, poorly photographed, and, worst of all, not funny. One big problem is that the film includes a number of loosely connected subplots that don't go anywhere. They just get in the way of the main story.
You have the impression that Shearer went into this with a rough idea of what he wanted, then let the actors improvise, intending to pull it together during editing. Maybe he didn't get the material he wanted; maybe he didn't have time to do the editing properly. Whatever happened, the end result is a mess.
I hate to say it, but not even major Shearer fans should bother with this one.
