I sorta see this movie, an it's box office failure, as a sad milepost in Meyer's career.
After the sucess of Wayne's World, which was essentially a slipshod, ad-libbed bunch of sketches hobbled into a film Meyers poured blood, sweat and tears in to the personal and exremely well written So I Married An Axe Murderer.
The film's resounding thud, only reaffirmed Meyer's instincts to go back the the Wayne's World way of doing things. Hence, Austin Powers and everthing since.
While often funny, nothing he's done since have been a better film.
