Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Belushi's final appearance, scripted by Larry Gelbart from Thomas Berger's novel, and detailing the purportedly hilarious chaos that befalls a quiet suburban couple (Belushi and Walker) when a pair of uninhibited nutters (Aykroyd, Moriarty) move in next door. In fact, ruthlessly ironing out Berger's subtleties of tone in favour of a rumbustious Animal House collision between Belushi and Aykroyd, it becomes increasingly tiresome, with few funny moments to leaven the proceedings.Author: GA
