Was it because the main roles were played by comedians and the show was
serious?

Was it because Harry Morgan had only a bit part?

Was it because it was one of the sillier concepts for a movie at that time?

Was it because Dan Akroyd's "Sgt. Joe Friday" was one of his worst acting
jobs since playing a plumber on SNL?

Was it because the budget was cut prior to filming?

Was it because Tom Hanks acted like it was "Bachelor Party 2?"

Was it because you could only enjoy the movie if you were drunk, and then
when you sobered up you couldn't remember what you had just seen?

Was it because Dabney Coleman played a gay man who had founded a smut
magazine?

Was it because the movie condoned police brutality in interrogation
techniques?

Was it because the anaconda in the movie was more fake than Dan Akroyd's
accent?

WHY, DAMN IT, WHY?

That's like asking, if you drill for oil, why did the hole turn up dry?

Or, why if I'm a pro-wrestler, is my son gay?

Because all you wrestlers are a bunch of faggets, that's why!

Come on, what do you girls do? Try to trip another fat girl off balance so
you can jump on their ass? Fag stuff!!!!

Why would a guy want to trip another guy off balance and then jump on his ass?


WHY, DAMN IT, WHY?


Because they are all a bunch of fags.

It wasn't horrible. I thought it was pretty funny, especially Akroyd.
Hanks was bad.
