Allow me to disagree with several reviewers, including Leonard Maltin (or whoever wrote the review in his book). I think this hodge-podge of a film has several hilarious moments and rather few terrible (or, in Leonard's words, "astonishingly unfunny") bits. To me the major embarrassment was Slappy White's "roast" at the funeral. His off-color comments were awful. Even Steve Allen was obviously offended by them.

The highlights are many, especially Don "No Soul" Simmons and his frequent appearances plugging his albums; Arsenio Hall's back-firing apartment; the SON OF THE INVISIBLE MAN spoof (though why Ed Begley, Jr., was forced to wear a pouch over his genitals when he's supposed to be nude seems odd, especially considering the total nudity of the "Pet-House Plaything").

Anyway, though it's certainly not a thinking person's comedy, it's quite funny. I've watched it several times and enjoyed it.

So there, Leonard!
