The opposite of funny, this film is a cheap rip-off of 1977 TV's funny series, Soap. Gene Hackman is decent as a male counterpart to Katherine Helmond's more original matriarch, Jessica Tate. But the rest of the cast stumbles through this drivel, practically begging for laughs. Unfortunately, the only ones come at the audience's expense. Another lame installment in the much lacking American comedy diet.
