5/10
Fun but not well thought out
28 December 2022
Mac's mother shows up with the news his sister is about to be married, and they've come to San Francisco to have the ceremony. In the meantime, her intended (David Birney) looks to be mixed up in a con game with two other men, one posing as a mining expert.

The con game doesn't ring true, and neither does the con target's phony bearer bond scheme. The "surprise ending" doesn't' actually hold water very well, either. LOL It's just sloppy writing.

However, if you can look past the numerous plot holes, there is entertainment value here. It's a great cast with Birney and the actress playing Mac's mother, the great Mildred Natwick.

The reverend set to perform the ceremony, Dunn, had a couple of great roles in Mel Brooks movies (Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein).

So turn off any logic you possess and just enjoy the performances.
