Too Much Sun is a 1991 American comedy film directed by Robert Downey Sr. and starring Robert Downey Jr., Eric Idle, Andrea Martin, Allan Arbus, Ralph Macchio and Howard Duff in his final film appearance. It was filmed in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles, California.
A multi-millionaire is making out his will. His son is gay and his daughter a lesbian, yet he vows to leave his fortune to the first one who can produce a grandchild.
Kevin Thomas, reviewing for The Los Angeles Times, gave the film a negative review: "something that might have been made by a band of thumb-nosing high school students... a nasty business that lays waste to its large, gifted and game cast".[1] Peter Travers summed up his review for Rolling Stone, "Downey has become what every true satirist fears most: outdated."[2]
