I was honestly expecting a little more.
It could have been better, but it could have been worse. Bette Midler was -of course- divine, just like in her previous Big Business and Ruthless People. She seems to simply enjoy these wacky characters, people so unpleasant and joyless they end up being funny. As for Danny DeVito, Neve Campbell, Jamie Lee Curtis and all the others, well, they were okay too.
The end was really disappointing, though. Way to conventional. Way to easy. "Bad, bad American folks": was that the message, or did I get it wrong?
But we can't get enough of Mrs. Midler shouting, now can we? Worth renting. Once.
