Unfunny slapstick and lowbrow humor abounds in this weak comedy featuring
Saturday Night Live alumni
Chris Farley and
David Spade. Handsome, smooth-talking Al Donnelly has everything going for him. A politician, he is engaged in a heated gubernatorial race with the feisty Governor Tracy, a tough old bird who doesn't hesitate to play hardball with opponents. Unfortunately for her, things are looking good for Donnelly. Fortunately she finds his Achilles Heel with his young brother Mike Donnelly, a fat slob gym teacher and hopeless imbecile who only wants to win his more successful sibling's respect. Unfortunately all he does is embarrass poor Al to death. In desperation, Al assigns the sardonic and prissy Steve Dodds to keep Mike under constant surveillance. The real trouble begins when Tracy's aids try to frame hapless Mike for arson. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
