Synopsis:

 

This morning they were playing ping-pong in the hospital rec room. Now they're lost in New York and framed for murder. This was never covered in group therapy.

 

The Freak's Rating: B- : With a cast like this, you know you'll laugh.  The Dream Team showcases some comedic legends in Christopher Lloyd and Peter Boyle as well as Keaton's decent comedic delivery.  The film oozes with 1980's cheesy dialogue, but does generate enough laughs to make it into the B range.

 

Peter Boyle was a legend in comedic timing.  He brought a seriousness to comedy that was showcased in Young Frankenstein, but continued throughout his career into television on Everybody Loves Raymond.  Christopher Lloyd may have won over most of America in Back to the Future, but his role on television's Taxi was what solidified him in the comedy hall of fame as well.

 

The story has holes, the acting is shabby and the hairstyles (especially Keaton's) ridiculous, but somehow this one does make me laugh.
