Obnoxious, irresponsible George Kuffs (Christian Slater) leaves girlfriend Maya (Milla Jovovich) after learning she is pregnant. In need of money, he hits up brother Brad (Bruce Boxleitner) for a loan but ends up taking over his brother's privately owned police precinct in San Francisco after Brad is coldly gunned down inside a church.
Using the supposedly true-to-life hook of these privately owned and funded police precincts in San Francisco, the rest of the movie is pure movie-universe comedy: a terminally offbeat, silly, who-cares-about-being-realistic affair with some good laughs; thankfully, for me, the best ones tended to occur more towards the end, especially when Kuffs is trapped in the laundry with Thunder the dog.
Performances are generally entertaining; despite the nature of the George Kuffs character, at least thanks to Slater's work I can at least laugh at (and with) him. (To that end, it's now a worn-out cliché to have the lead character of a movie address the audience directly, but I have to admit that I did laugh at some of his dialog.) Jovovich provides interested viewers with the requisite amount of eye candy, and is able to convey the essential sweetness of her character. Tony Goldwyn, following up his career-breakthrough performance as the "friend" in 1990's "Ghost", is obliged to engage in some truly silly comic relief as the grouchy cop saddled with babysitting Kuffs as punishment for his indiscretions. Finally, there's the offbeat casting of a ballet dancer - George de la Pena - as the smug, businessman-type villain, and the amusing presence of Leon Rippy ("The Patriot" (2000), 'Deadwood') as the thug with the wackiest wardrobe since the days of Ralph Furley. Boxleitner is very good in his brief time on-screen.
Harold Faltermeyer, best known for his highly memorable "Beverly Hills Cop" music, contributes another funky, likable electronic score, even though it does sound a little familiar.
People here seem a little divided; most reviewers either love it or loathe it. I don't think it's any comedy classic but it's good for some entertainment.
Pay close attention and you'll see Ashley Judd cowering behind a paint store counter.
