Plot
The story of comedian John Belushi's life and death, told by his ghost, in a bizarre comedy-drama.
Sinekatalog’s take
Larry Peerce's biopic, from Bob Woodward's book, with Michael Chiklis, is crude, tasteless and widely reviled, one of the worst-rated biographies.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
