Agree. One of my favorites.

That pretty much covers it. As I recall, the main uproar at the time wasn't that it was a bad movie, per se. It was that Arnold had gotten too big for his britches by engaging in self-parody. I wasn't that old at the time, but I got a pretty good picture of why the adults were all so upset. It was actually kind of weird, in retrospect. People were bitching that engaging in a meta performance about his own career was just plain hubris on Arnold's part and people refused to accept the commentary because of that. Nowadays, it would go over much better than it did back then.
