Summary: Amiga's role in the film Disorderlies

I have had the pleasure to see the movie "Disorderlies" starring the
Fat Boys and Ralph Bellamy.  Needless to say I found the music def, the
storyline stupid, and the acting ill.  However the big surprise is the
use of the AMIGA computer (sans Mouse) in many of the scenes.  In one scene the
AMIGA monitor animates a heartbeat, in others it is being used on the
desks of various business executives.  However the best scene shows the
Fat Boys accidently destroying the AMIGA and causing everything to
short circuit in the mansion (Perhaps the AMIGA can be marketed as an
expensive fusebox :-( ).  Their last movie, "Krush Groove", didn't get
any nominations for Academy Awards... I expect this movie to do just as
well.  If you've never seen the Fat Boys (or heard their music) than I
highly recommend seeing this film.  If you've heard Fat Boys music
before, you probably want nothing to do with them, but go see it for
the AMIGA.  If you've seen it already, go see it again, 'cause I said
so.  Disregard all other movie reviews, I rate it ****.

PS. Does anyone know whether Disorderlies made it to "Dog of the Week" on At
    the Movies.
