Written and directed by Dan Aykroyd, Nothing But Trouble is a bizarre dark comedy that’s too weird for its own good. The story follows a group of travelers headed for Atlantic City who, after running a stop sign, end up trapped in a county courthouse that dispenses an unusual form of justice. Starring Chevy Chase, Dan Aykroyd, Demi Moore, and John Candy, the film is loaded with comedic talent; including a wickedly fun cameo by rapper Humpty Hump. But poor storytelling and a ridiculous plot doom the film. In more capable hands, perhaps this type of story could work; but Arkyoyd isn’t able to find the right blend of comedy and horror. Nothing But Trouble is a complete and utter trainwreck that has nothing going for it.
