Gould and Sutherland play bumbling spies in a frantic but feeble espionage comedy. This was promoted as a throwback (or followup) to "M*A*S*H", complete with asterisks between the capital letters in the title. That might've made marketing sense, but when it comes to making a movie, asterisks aren't enough. The final shot, made in fading light on the last day of filming, has the boys improvising a little song-and-dance routine as they head on down the road. It's nice to see them having such a good time, but by then you kind of wonder if they're not just making their escape, as happy as you are that the movie's finally over.
