Four washed-up elderly detectives who were in their prime back in the 60's decide to liven things up in life. So they randomly chose a corpse from the morgue, brought it to their apartment and blew its brains out. However, they made one huge mistake. The old man they chose was the father of an ultra-powerful drug lord and he wasn't aware of his father's death! Not a great comedy by any standard; most jokes are unfunny, but it has an appealing cast (especially Richard Dreyfuss and Burt Reynolds). Much of the supporting cast, however, has pretty faces but cannot act.
