Boy, I wonder if we all saw the same movie? I thought it was funny, and the frog thing didn't bother me at all (remember that the Delmar character isn't the sharpest blade in the swiss army knife), and the allusions to the Odyssey were fun to try and catch.

Either you guys have really high standards, or mine are just low. But it sounds like you're trying to make an art film out of a romp. Enjoy it for a romp and quit analyzing! Life's too short for vinegar enemas.
