Nothing But Trouble is nothing but dismal. [16 Feb 1991, p.C5]

Nothing but Trouble used to be called Valkenvania, which gives you an idea of the filmmakers' instincts: From the obscure they moved to the generic. The movie is something of both, and not much fun on either count. [19 Feb 1991, p.C8]

What Aykroyd concocts here is about as appetizing as that fish shake he made on Saturday Night Live. Meet Hollywood's first Bass-o-matic filmmaker. [18 Feb 1991, p.2D]

One of the worst attempts at comedy ever filmed.

Maybe the whole project should have been junked from the get-go.

No matter how much care and thought went into it it's still disgusting and pointless.

Nothing but Trouble, which distinguishes itself by being Dan Aykroyd's directorial debut and in no other way, certainly lives up to its name. But you could go far beyond that -- it's nothing but trouble and agony and pain and suffering and obnoxious, toxically unfunny bad taste. It's nothing but miserable.

Had it come out some years later, it would have been more well received. And yes there are some pretty low points and embarrassing moments like Chevy' performance, but overall its pretty unique and bizarre. Plus the sets and prosthetics are pretty darn good. I just cant hate the movie.
