The Cheap Detective
Rating: 4/10
The only reason I even finished this movie was because it is a parody of Casablanca and Maltese Falcon. I think I would have enjoyed it more if they chose just one of the movies to focus on. Merging the two plots into one made the plot unintelligible and busy. It had its funny moments but you really have had to watch Casablanca and Maltese Falcon to even appreciate the comedic references.
