    On of those cheesy 80's comedies, but great fun. Bum gets taken in by a rich family and changes all their lives, for the better?

    A really funny and fun movie. Nick Nolte is at his best in this movie. He forces a family with way to much material possessions how fortunate they really are.

    As a remake of Renoir's BOUDU, it is not sensational! But some funny situations and a bravura due formed by Nolte and Dreyfuss lead to a quite enjoyable film! The leftist lecture by the maid is unforgettable!

    A clever screenplay helps to make this one of the more entertaining comedy confections from the 80's.

    Nick Nolte as a tramp who's failed suicide bid results in his becoming embroiled in the affairs of a self absorbed Hollywood family. And as usual with these superficial pseudo-soul searching comedies of the 80s, it's self-concious, unfunny, and I found it very difficult to give a crap about any of the characters.

    This was a great comedy for its time. Bette Midler and Richard Dreyfuss were great. Mike the dog is the best character.

    "Mummy, mummy, can I take this shaggy puppy home?" "Of course honey, just make sure it isn't Nick Nolte!" Nick Nolte in a memorable, funny part as the bum who suddenly gets a second chance.

    One of the charms of Down and Out is it' S "dated" quality. This is something modern audiences probably don' T know, just has historical side note. Gift Muhich, the dog psychiatrist, was Paul' S psychotherapist in the ' 70s and has that role in two other Mazursky movies.

    So hilarious between rich family and a homeless guy in Beverly Hills. There's still plenty to enjoy in this amusing satire on the lifestyles of the rich and famous in LA.

    Once upon an 80's family comedy that is absolutely scary to watch now. Even Bette Midler can't save this turkey.

    I was surprised at this one. It was a lot better than I thought it would be, yet I think it still had some boring bits.
