A film adaptation of Bob Woodward's bestseller "Wired", a biography of comedian/actor John Belushi. The film begins after Belushi's death, as his spirit joins that of his guardian angel. Together, they visit and examine the events of Belushi's fast-lane life. Belushi's meteoric rise to fame on TV and in films led to a cocaine addiction that caused his ties with friends and associates to disintegrate, and eventually killed him in 1982 at the age of 32.

A profoundly trivial and tasteless affair.

Chiklis has atoned for his sins here with later roles. This Belushi biopic is monotonous and even racist (Belushi's inept guardian angel is Puerto Rican cab driver).
