I got it. Good arch evil light comedy. Makes sense overall.
On the other hand, quick and cheap. Lots of bad acting unless it was supposed to be arch and just didn't play. Think the uncomfortable laugh in Austin Powers; they try that exactly and it fails entirely.
Same for production design. It's delightfully over the top except when it's just meh.
Same for cinematography. It should be full on 60s exploitation movie but instead it is lit, blocked, and filmed like a sitcom.
Oh, and too much "ooh, isn't Rachael Leigh Cook pretty." Like distractingly way too much.
