Nothing but Trouble (1991 film)

Nothing but Trouble is a 1991 American black comedy horror film written and directed by Dan Aykroyd in his directorial debut. Based on a story by his brother Peter, it stars Aykroyd and John Candy (both in dual roles) along with Chevy Chase and Demi Moore, and tells the tale of two yuppies (played by Chase and Moore) and the clients of one of them who are taken to court for running a stop sign in the bizarre, financially bankrupt hamlet of Valkenvania, which is dominated by a 106-year-old judge (played by Aykroyd).

Production began in 1990 under the title Git, which was changed in production to Valkenvania. Subsequently, prior to release, Warner Bros. changed the title to Nothing but Trouble; in a press statement released in December 1990, Aykroyd said that he preferred the Valkenvania title.

Upon release, the film was largely panned by critics for its humor, screenplay, tone and direction, and was also a box-office bomb. Critics compared the film's tone to that of movies such as Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and The Munsters. Aykroyd received the Worst Supporting Actor Razzie at the 12th Golden Raspberry Awards.
