3.0 out of 5 stars Bordering, 2 Feb 2006

By	bernie "xyzzy" (Arlington, Texas) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

This film is a detective spoof that attempts to mix characters and stories form films such as Casa Blanca, and “The Maltese Falcon”. All the characters are played by well known actors. Some of the actors could have challenged the originals.

One line I will have to use by Lou Peckinpaugh to the cab driver, “No tip, I’m a war veteran.”

This formula worked better in “Murder by Death” (1976); however they tried too hard and missed the target. The puns and site gags were old hat or targeted to too small an audience. The train of thought could not focus long enough to be funny. If you really line detective farces with well known actors you may want to watch “Clue” (1985).
