This is a story about poetic justice and providence. Though the Professor’s plan is well-conceived, there are stronger powers working against him as represented by a portrait of the long-deceased Mr. Munson that continually changes expression to communicate reactions to people and situations. The film is often crude and contains grisly killings that are unsettling for a comedy. Overall, it has a wonderful comedic balance but unfortunately resorts to an almost constant barrage of objectionable language to accomplish it. This easily earns it an R rating.
