    This was hilarious comedy back in 81 Before the woke crap and obamas race wars. The critics who complain about it are just a bunch of idiot millennials. Chevy chase was hilarious in this movie,and it just goes to show what a down and out guy can do with some extra special powers. If ya don't like this then go grab your special blankey and go sit in your safe place.
