Nothing But Trouble
All They Wanted Was A Little Getaway. All They Got Was...
Welcome to Valkenvania, the Twilight Zone of speed traps. One wrong turn off the New Jersey Turnpike and stock market whiz Chase and investment lawyer Moore end up there.
One minor driving violation and they're hauled off by Valkenvania's finest (Candy) to the part-courtroom, part-funhouse of 106-year-old Justice of the Peace Alvin Valkenheiser (Aykroyd).

Nothing But The Truth - Old_Video_Man
I don't usually review movies that I don't like, but I have to tell the truth. Comedy is subjective. This movie is not my cup of tea, although some people like it. If you enjoy movies like Saw 1-4, Halloween, or other slasher flicks, then this "parody" may be enjoyable and amusing.
If you don't think blood, bones, and gore are funny then, you'll ignore this high cast, low quality movie. I've seen worse movies that are funny only because they're so bad. This movie is supposed to be funny, and it's so bad, that it's not funny. I will now try to put this film out of my mind forever, and think of Christmas Vacation, Ghostbusters, and Uncle Buck when I think of Chevy Chase, Dan Aykroyd, and John Candy.Not Funny... Just Weird. - MikeLynn
Because of the good comedic actors in this movie (John Candy, Chevy Chase, Dan Aykroyd), I expected this to be a really funny movie. It's not very funny at all. It's just strange. If you're looking for a good comedy from this time period (well, 1991 specifically), I would suggest What About Bob?, Hot Shots!, or Drop Dead Fred instead.One of the most underrated comedies ever. - MsFan24
This movie is one that you have to be in the right frame of mind to enjoy and to understand, however it has little jokes and visual jokes that only become noticeable after several viewings. It has quite a few famous people in it, too. All in all, it is one of the most unusual movies you will ever watch, but I believe that for every opne viewer that scratches their head, two will laugh while shaking their heads.
