...plot itself is poorly structured. Chances are that you will find yourself wondering, fairly often, what is going on. Why Allen is so intent on finding Linda in the first place is never really explained. And sure, dirty jokes are funny. But there is a cutoff point for everything. Unless the sight of a dildo lying in a fish tank makes you crack up, most likely you will end up rolling your eyes at Allen getting hot and bothered when he sees the latex fish...
...could have made this film well. The plot is completely disjointed and unmanageable. While "Menace II Society" proved that Allen and Albert Hughes have command of their craft, this film demonstrates that this command is not yet complete.

He found Nazis in The Music Box and white supremacists in Betrayed, but cogent drama in neither. His favorite plot hook, sexual mutilation, bore rancid fruit in Jagged Edge, Basic Instinct and Sliver. At least those three had some sick kick to them. But if his women characters aren't psychos or sex-crime victims, the scripts get shrill and turgid. After an hour of naughty chat in Showgirls...
