We almost quit watching this movie a few times because it gets so stupid, but then it would suddenly get very funny and reel us back in. There’s some really lousy acting, and the film is almost play-like in it’s sparseness of soundtrack and other distractions from the actors, so bad acting hurts. But Alan Arkin and Peter Falk are good, and there are some classic moments. I’ll still laugh if you say, “Pepe”, “Atonal music”, or especially, “Serpentine!”
