Wait; there is one good line in the movie. Burt asks this wimpy Bostonian character if he ever hunts, and the guy answers, "No, not since Bambi." There. I've saved you five bucks. I imagine I could bash the flick for a few more paragraphs, but it's no fun; it's like mocking a leper. It's got enough problems already...

...crumbling. They look as if a large tar-eating animal had been chewing at them from the shoulders, inward toward the center line. A vehicle therefore speeds demonically down the dead center of a two-lane road, like a rhino charging. The driver waits until the last instant to flick the steering wheel to the left (British rules, drive on the left -- Did Moses derive the left-handed theory from that?) to swerve around the onrushing bus. The wildest animal on the road is the matatu, a jitney designed to carry about eight passengers. Instead, it customarily holds 20 Africans...
