Production
The film was shot primarily in Los Angeles, with many scenes taking filmed at the Tillman Water Reclamation Plant and the Japanese Garden in Van Nuys. In an interview with The A.V. Club in 2012, Curtis Armstrong recalled an incident where Gary Busey disliked the set of heaven since it did not look like the heaven that he saw when he had a near-death experience. Busey also fought with another actor about what heaven really looked like.[2]
Critical reception
JoBlo.com wrote a positive review for the film commenting that it was "awfully good" and that while it qualified as a bad movie, this made it enjoyable.[3] Rob Gonsalves of eFilmCritic.com panned it, writing "Absolutely none of this is interesting or entertaining, not even on the level of 'I am actually watching a pomeranian who's supposed to be Gary Busey.'"[4]
The Dove Foundation's review was mostly positive, writing that the "story tempo is somewhat inconsistent, and some scenery and characters are less than believable" but that it was also "loaded with slapstick and silly characters chasing and being chased, mixed with prat falls and double takes."[5]
