Burt Reynolds directs and stars in this wonderful black comedy about a neurotic dying man. Dom DeLuise provides some hysterically funny moments as a zany mental patient.

An intermittently successful dark comedy with a few solid gags.

Not nearly as bad as its reputation. It's even pretty interesting.
