While the opening scene seemed kinda stupid (that whole tow truck thing), the introduction of Nick Lang at his beachhouse with the bimbos and the dialog is what compelled me to stay tuned. Michael J. Fox nailed his character, what a jerk "Nick Lang" was! But his script was delicious.

• "Mel Gibson? What, is it a butt movie?"
• The scene with him trying to change the channel and not knowing which remote control to use was very fresh.
• And, how often is it that Michael J. Fox is the jerk and James Woods is the good guy?

Delroy Lindo also looked like he was just having fun and making a little money taking this limited but sharp role.

If you want to have some kooky fun, this movie more than fits the bill.

Reminds me of another terrific casting against type - https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/6463-other-people-s-money/discuss/60ba8812ae6f09007a8e0ac7
