There is a hint of a plot at the begining of the film, but we loose al of it very quickly. What we get is some sort of gross-out schlock that makes Freddy Got Fingered look like a Best Picture nominee.
On route, they are pulled over by a backwoods police officer (John Candy) for failing to stop at a stop sign. He then takes them to a judge (Dan Aykroyd) who lives in a mansion near the small town of Valkenvania. There is only one problem: The justice is extremely disturbed.
For starters, He lives in a delapidated mansion hidden behind never-ending mounds of trash and scrap metal with two fat, disgusting blobs whom he calls family. He also live with his fat, ugly daughter (John Candy in drag). The judge himself is over 100 years old. He looks disgustingly ugly; you can hardly even look at him. He also hates bankers.
Chris and Diane don't know if they are goning to make it out from the mansion alive. Most people end up pissing the judge off, and so he kills them for fun. He likes killing people. In fact, he's killed so many people that the judge has actually lost count...
Burn the Negatives! Leave no survivors!!
This is a HORRIBLE MOVIE! It's terrible! It should be taken out behind the barn and shot! Throw it in a box, lock it, and drop it into the ocean beside the Titanic! Bury all copies next to Jimmy Hoffa!
Any way, there is a hint of plot in the film, and it does start out fairly decently. There are plot elements discussed are even expanded upon, but we nerver find out about them. They are abandoned fairly quickly. As we get deeper into the story, we find ourselves sickened by digusting blobs and a cross-dressing John Candy (if that doesn't make you want to vommit already...) As if being three hundred pounds (which I don't hold aginst him AT ALL) wasn't enough, we have to see him in a wedding dress! >P
Dan Aykroyd plays the Judge, and under all that make-up, you can't even tell that it is actually Aykroyd at all. The two blobs and the judge look hideously ugly; they can't be stared at for very long. I would not be surprised if some people even gaged at the sight of them.
The film is one hour and thirty four minutes long. The high point of the film comes around ninety minutes into the film when we first see the names of the cast and crew who stared in the picture. That's right. The high point of the film is the end credits. How sad is that?
Simply put, this is a gross, digusting movie. Don't waste your time or money like I did. It's just not worth it.
Plot:
There is a hint of a plot at the begining of the film, but we loose al of it very quickly. What we get is some sort of gross-out schlock that makes Freddy Got Fingered look like a Best Picture nominee.
Visual Effects:
You have got to give props where props are due. The Art/set direection is incredibly well done for this film. The junk yard surrounding the mansion look very realistic. The inside of the mansion is decorated with every kind of prop that you can imagine, including old police badges (that are prat of Dan Aykroyds own collection), and different ID cars (in fact, thousands of them).
The train the squirts ketchup and Relish was a nice touch, as well.
Not only that, but the make-up on Dan Aykroyd's Judge Valkenheiser and the two fat, ugly blobs was also extremely well done (even if they are incredibly disgusting to look at).
Sound:
There is no real score or songs, but what there is is pretty poorly done.
Character Development:
If there is any hint of character development in this picture I certainly could not find any sign of it. Both Checy Chase and Demi Moore's characters stay very static throughout the movie and bascially end up the same as when the film ends.
Atmosphere: 
Realism:
In 1978, Dan Aykroyd was actually pulled over for speeding somewhere in the backwoods of the north-eastern USA around 2:00 A.m. He was promptly taken to a local justice of the peace for a court appearance!
Aykroyd based the film on that inncident, but that's where the similarities end.
Warren's Rating:
I think I am being generous...
2.86/10Is the movie worth your time to watch?
