I haven't seen this one in years, but it was a popular Sunday afternoon watch after a crazy Saturday night in college. Alan Arkin was great, the three lead women are beautiful, Sam Raimi is fun in his little cameo...

Thanks for the reminder that I should revisit this soon.

Such a weird movie that rests on the revelation that Alan Arkin was racist 25 years earlier

I'd forgotten Arkin was the police chief, but not the gag "I think most Scottish cuisine was based on a dare"
