Dan Akroyd usually isn't very good by himself, but he did a good job on this movie.
It's sardonically funny, and won't make you split your sides laughing, but it is entertaining and provides a good, non-mainstream movie that's more about the line between right and wrong than about getting a laugh, which it does anyway.
The daughter is rather comical in her stoicness and reminds me of what Frau Farbinssina would be if she were less obnoxious.
The older couple later in the movie is hysterical, but are not included enough in the later events. I wanted to see more of them.
The movie as a whole needed more comic relief, since Akroyd himself is not amazingly funny, but he's far from some of the Hollywood idiots running around today doing anything for a cheap laugh. Humor that requires you to think and pay attention.
