...glibly compares the number of used cars in a lot to the quantity of hemorrhoids or crotch hairs he has. This tally isn't his only vulgar observation and surprisingly, they all slip by inoffensively. But Peter Fletcher's version of the naive cop doesn't jibe with his cohort's naturalness. His lithe, eager responses to the fat cop are always a little too slow in coming--his resemblance to an inept Stan Laurel fails to complement Suchecki's realistic performance...

Thus the cohort responsible for the "generation gap" of the '60s may find themselves on the other side of another generation gap as their children are heavily taxed for their support...
