This movie is a shameless, poor man's knockoff of the almost-as-bad and terribly overrated, "Moonstruck" --
MacClaine's performance is unbearable. What was with her attempt at an ethnic New York accent? She wound up sounding like Lanie Kazan with adenoids. Jessica Tandy, by this time, was on life support, and so overused and played out, that you've got to feel sorry for her.
Everybody else in the script, save for Marcello, has a "New Yawk" accent while Tandy sounds like the local Mrs. Vanderbilt. She must have gone to a finishing school in Flatbush.
Marcello is dragged into this mess in a blatant attempt to add legitimacy to the drivel -- poor guy.
Used People must have been green-lighted by a USED Car Salesman. It's a worse-than-Moonstruck (and that ain't easy) atrocity.
Sorry but I calls 'em as I sees 'em.
