Critic Reviews

Chuck O'Leary, FulvueDrive-in.com
Burt Reynolds is a lot of fun here in his ornery-guy-with-a-soft-heart mode.
Eric D. Snider, EricDSnider.com
It was made either by people who were never children, or who have forgotten what it was like to be one.

I'm glad this disappeared.

I thought this movie was great. Obviously, it'd never happen, but it's a fun movie too watch. I loved it when I was little.

I couldn't get enough of this sucker when I was a kid.
Janice :

A surprisingly very funny movie that gets heart-warming towards the end. Burt Reynolds made me laugh so hard! I never thought that dude could actually be funny. Ah well.
