Life Stinks is a 1991 American comedy film co-written, produced, directed by and starring Mel Brooks.

To add to the look, Bolt has his mustache shaved off, then Crasswell confiscates his toupée and rips his jacket chest pocket.

To prevent the "30-second forfeiture", Bolt rushes back in, which impresses Molly with his supposed bravery, as it looks like he is tackling the muggers.

The muggers are eventually defeated via a pot of boiling stock being poured over them from a height, forcing them to retreat their assault on Bolt.

Forced to live on the streets for good and remanded to a free clinic by mistake, a drugged Bolt murmurs that "life stinks".

Whoopi Goldberg was initially considered for Lesley Ann Warren's role; however, Brooks was uncertain whether he could convincingly play her love interest.

Citing the failed efforts at social satire and absence of Mel Brooks's usual collection of leads, he gave it one-and-a-half stars.
