The film possesses a fair amount of levity (especially in the scene where Wynn and Marvin are lifting weights), and plenty of reliably zingy dialogue: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Slob&#8217;s got an eight-cylinder body and a two-cylinder mind!&#8221; <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Plus, the acting by everyone involved is well above average for a B-movie, and there are enough plot twists to keep you on the edge of your seat. <\/p>\n<p>Favorite scene: Moore and Lovejoy interspersing kisses with questions about the U.S. Constitution:<br \/>\n<a
