A waste of talent
Added 8/29/2009
This movie was probably the biggest bomb of 1994. It's a real shame too as it has some talent in it's ranks like James Earl Jones, Dana Carvey, and Kevin Pollak. However, this was very unfunny. Mind you my heart really wasn't into this movie anyway as I had a rejection the night before I saw this, so I couldn't focus into the movie, but there really wasn't anything to focus into here. It's about a guy who has amnesia whenever he goes to sleep, and he ends up witnessing a murder.....what's so funny about that? I honestly feel that this is one of the worst if not "THE" worst movie ever made. This was even worse than "Ishtar" folks. I don't have any desire to see this again, and I won't own it either. Like I said this was the biggest bomb of 1994.

Fun and clever

A clever and funny romp about a detective who's suffering short-term memory loss. Carvey plays it well, and so does the dog. The premise has him trying to make sense of the urgent goings-on around him, and is used to great effect. Don't want to ruin the plot, so just go watch it!
Don't be discouraged by the three stars. I think I gave Saving Private Ryan four.

I like it

It's not screamingly funny, but unfortunately it is Dana's best solo starring movie to date.
Carvey and Golino work well together and create real characters out of a pretty one dimensional script. Plus, there's Kevin Pollack who's turned out to be far more talented as an actor than he ever was as a comedian and the ever exquisite Olivia D'Abo (Single Guy (TV), Point of No Return, many bad movies and cartoon voice overs.)
This seems like one of those vehicles that starts with a funny idea, but there isn't the writing talent or maybe just a lack of impetus to develop it fully. It's pretty much a one trick pony.
Robert King needed a writing committee like the writers for the Simpsons to take a basically funny concept and add joke after joke until there was really something there like they did with Groundhog Day.
I saw Pre-SNL Dana live (late '85 or early '86) so I know what it's like to laugh so hard you can't hear all the jokes or breath for that matter. His talent is incredible, but he hasn't has the best of luck in films.
This one isn't terrible, but it will never be on anyone's top ten list either.
(I actually gave 3 stars but I can't figure out how to change it.)

Pretty funny
Added 9/10/2008
I have to say when it comes to Dana Carvey, this is one of his funniest. the dog in the movie is actually more of the highlight. A blind dog that has issues of his own, and is quite enjoyable to watch. I believe that children would enjoy this movie as well. (Mainly because there is no nudity :( and the language is pretty calm.) i would actually rate this at 3 1/2 stars, but still a fun one to check out.
