    great, one of the comedy classics
  • July 5, 2008
    The sort of silly, entertaining 80s movie that was always on TV around Christmas...
  • May 4, 2008
    Michael and Steve are hilarious as con men trying to out do each other. But they meet their match in the jackel. Very funny and interesting plots.

    Good movie
  • October 28, 2009
    Was excpecting it to be funnier but it had a good story to it. Steve Martin was great as usual I thought the part where he pretend to be retarted was the highlight of the movie, Michael Caine did a good job you didnt know if you were suppose to hate him or like him in some parts.

    Hilarious! The final twist is a killer.
  • September 2, 2009
    Great fun, Steve Martin and Michael Caine work wonderfully together. Caine is particularly good. Very enjoyable and quite funny. Entertaining, great writing, good supporting cast.

    Loved it since I was a kid and now that I know what they're talking about, it's even better.

    Steve Martin proves he's a comedic genius and Michael Caine is a perfect casting choice for his character. The screenplay is a bit predictable, though.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

The chemistry between Martin and Caine is fun, and Headly provides a resilient foil as a woman who looks like a pushover but somehow never seems to topple. full review
