The script is a gold mine of one-liners.

More innocuous than inventive.

Strident pop-culture revisionism.

Mr. Aykroyd and Mr. Hanks play well together, but the funniest performance in the film is that of Dabney Coleman, as the smut king (who lisps).

A comedy classic, Hanks and Aykroyd are great

Aykroyd's script has more than its share of clever, witty ideas, but the film still feels the need to descend way too often to Police Academy-style heroes-dress-up-like-idiots sequences.

Yes, it is lowbrow and sophomoric. What you'd call dumb-de-dumb-dumb fun.

Annoying comedy.
