Brooklyn beat cop Officer Gunther Toody (David Johansen) is partnered with new by-the-book virgin Officer Francis Muldoon (John C. McGinley). Gunther is married to loud and angry Lucille Toody (Rosie O'Donnell). Francis falls for experienced Velma Velour (Fran Drescher). Police Capt. Dave Anderson (Nipsey Russell) assigns them to protect important witness Herbert Hortz (Jeremy Piven) who is being hunted by Don Motti (Daniel Baldwin).
I don't know anything about the 60's TV show other than the outrageous title. The movie was panned terribly and I never considered watching it. I'm suddenly in the mood for a bad movie. I had such low expectations and I don't have any good nostalgia from the TV shows. That combination probably makes this a better watch than it should be. Rosie O'Donnell is much more annoying than funny. McGinley is completely miscast. David Johansen is fun at first as Buster Poindexter, but that wore thin really quickly in the culture. All of that is setting up for a bad movie and this does not disappoint.
