Press Reviews LA Weekly [Nov. 1999]: This is an outrageous farce that depicts the drunken antics of the denizens of Neuterberg, Iowa, who attend auto-insurance agent Bob Finhead's weekly Friday-night beer busts. Bob feels trapped in his provincial existence and longs to move to the big city -- Des Moines -- to make his fortune as an inventor. He's finally given that opportunity by Elwin (Pat O'Brien), a nerdy high school classmate turned millionaire. But can Bob stop his affair with Marjorie (Andrea Beutner), the mayor's wife? Or abandon the insurance needs of the Johnson sisters (Melissa Denton and Maile Flanagan)? Or forget best friend, local sheriff and AA-backslider Joe (Joe Keyes)? Ann Randolph steals the show as twin sisters Carol and Brandy. This hilarious celebration of the power of friendship and alcohol consumption is written by Rob Elk and Joe Keyes, based on cast improvisations, and directed with unfettered craziness by Ken Larson. | 4 Front Magazine: "Outrageous and Bawdy" | Geri Garner's Entertainment File: "For a late night zany crowd" | Los Angeles Times: "Irreverrent, crude and devastatingly funny"
