Dated

It didn't help that I saw the Brokeback Top Gun parody first, which added a certain strange subtext; the incredibly dated soundtrack made things even worse. But the real problem was that every single male character in the movie is a complete jerk -- by the end of it, I wanted them all shot down.

It's worth seeing more for its pop-culture influence -- e.g., to even understand Hot Shots -- than because of any lasting value.
