Admittedly, I did see this ages ago, so the intervening years may have been kind; but I couldn't find much to recommend it then, and I suspect my opinion would be much the same now. Fairly witless premise (based on a true story?) handled in a pedestrian manner. For a 'comedy', I can't recall laughing too many times (except in a 'how much more stupid can it get?' way) Needless to say, that's bad.

Dick Charleston: What do you mean?
Sidney Wang: Mrs. Charleston's hair red. You have blond hairs on shoulder. This means she has dyed red hair blond, then back again to red, or else you have been... So sorry, Wang is wrong.
