This movie reminds me of the popular films of Spanish director Pedro Almodovar (sic). His films were like this: ribald sex comedies filled with outlandish characters, mundane plots turned ridiculous, and surprisingly good taste. This was job well done by the Canadians who created this one.
The story of two brothers, one of whom is trying to prevent the loss of his home by eviction while the other one just uses the pad to get women to sleep with him when his girlfriend is away, is well done. The acting is quite good. Still, the excesses of the 80's are apparent: Music is heard 70 percent of the time in the background. There are a couple of musical numbers. The people dress in crazy outfits. Still, not a bad time waster. I will say this, I wouldn't blame the Lothario Crane brother for cheating on his girlfriend; if I had to deal with someone with an annoying voice, a smoking habit, and an affinity for not wearing underwear, I'd be looking elsewhere, too.
