"I've no doubt I'm one of many products of the baby boom who endured this dreadful flick because of fond memories of the original Car 54 series. The series, of course, was no intellectual banquet, but it had charm and fun. This film version's one-joke premise is that Gunther Toody, whose facial expression and manner would make one wonder if those with lower intelligence than Neanderthal man are candidates for the NYPD, cannot keep his hands off his wife. Dreadful bore."
PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE was better.

"The movie considered to be the worst movie ever is Ed Wood's PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE. That movie was more entertaining than this. This takes a funny TV show and makes it look awful. I agree with what the person said about feeding the hungry children in one of the other reviews."
Just plain hideously bad

"I only wish the ratings went below 1 star because this crap fest doesn't even deserve that. I probably shouldn't even be acknowledging the existence of this film by giving it a rating."
Worse use of a disk than putting AOL signup on it.

"That is really saying something about how bad this movie is.
So bad, it's even beneath the legions of AOL users to enjoy it."
Car 54, Where Are You???

"No. Not this piece of dreck "movie". Where (or when) will the humorous series be available on DVD? Just about every TV show imaginable has had a DVD release (wheither desired or not). Car 54 and, until recently, Sgt. Bilko were nowhere to be found. Poor Ernie Bilko gets a "best of" rather then a richly deserving season by season treatment. By the way, instead of that very rotten Car 54 movie, you'll get more yucks staring at a clock. A stopped one at that. The makers of this mess should be arrested. Avoid at all costs."
