I watched this again a few years ago, and Sinbad has some of the worst delivery of all time, even among people who flexed into an "acting" career. That's to go among with Arnie's "unique" delivery of predictable dialogues and bad puns.

Phil Hartman was hilarious, or course.

It's a terrible movie.

Sinbad's performance is saved by the homemade explosive device scene. Other than that, he's a hack haha

It's a terrible movie, but us Minnesotans overlook that for the unbridled joy of pointing at the screen and saying "I've been there!" or "Nancy knows the family that used to live in that house." (she doesn't)

Honestly Phil Hartman being in it is one of the best parts for me. He was a treasure. RIP
