Cadillac ManMade in the days before Williams had perfected his irritatingly sentimental man-child act, but he is just as dislikeable as the womanizing car salesman who is forced to do the best talking of his life when a blue-collar lunk (Robbins), convinced he is nailing his wife, holds him and his showroom hostage. Donaldson's comedy is sporadically amusing, although most of the laughs come from Robbins' nice-but-dim act and the nasally shrieking sitcom star Drescher (here performing with real-life lapdog Chester). Like many frantic comedies though, it runs out of steam before the end, descending into noisy chaos.
