I'm not sure that it holds up terribly well, but everybody seemed to be playing it at some point.
Movie-based games have the general advantage for beginners that, as long as you know the movie, you roughly know what you have to do. I remember that I enjoyed playing it, and did make much progress, even though I was a beginner, and my english sucked back then :-).
Writing a text adventure based on the plot of an action comedy film, not a great idea, stay in any location for too long gets you killed, still finallied solve it (C64 Version), graphics good, but some sound would off been nice.
