  One of the great comedies of the 1980s, blessed with a terrific cast, tells the story of a family of rich, spoiled Beverly Hills residents who take car of a tramp who failed to commit suicide in their pool. There are a few great laughs but the comedy works mostly through the characters and how the hobo ends of putting every inhabitant of the house through his own very special therapy. That's full of irony, very charming and extremely entertaining. Dreyfuss and Midler are perfect as yuppie couple, Nolte nails the tramp outstandingly. And when the Talking Heads sing their hymn "Once in a lifetime" over the final punchline in the end, we know what we always hoped for: at the end of the day, the rich are just as poor as us.

  A comical scenarios, with a fun harmless feel to it, an enjoyable feel good movie

  Funny comedy about a tramp who tries to kill himself in a rich family's swimming pool. They take him in. Good cast.

  A rich Beverly Hills family takes in a stinky hairy street person... and he ends up enriching their lives in ways they never imagined. A great comedy and social-commentary. There's lots of dog-humour in here. There's also a lot of chemistry between the actors. Truly touching… More

  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… More
  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.

  great movie, classic story of a homeless guy who moves in with a rich family

• Dean M

  
  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.

• Leigh R

  
  Hilarious.

  Nick Nolte eating dog food from a bowl on the floor and the first instance I heard about dialing 911 for emergencies, the only impact I got from this 20 years later.

  Richard Dreyfus and Bette Midler star as a rich couple that take in a homeless man (Nick Nolte). Dreyfuss invites him to stay as long as he wants and Midler is a snob that doesn't want him there. I'd say that the heart of the movie is Richard Dreyfuss and Nick Nolte.… More
  Richard Dreyfus and Bette Midler star as a rich couple that take in a homeless man (Nick Nolte). Dreyfuss invites him to stay as long as he wants and Midler is a snob that doesn't want him there. I'd say that the heart of the movie is Richard Dreyfuss and Nick Nolte. They're pretty fun together. The scene where Nolte gets Dreyfuss to spend the night with the homeless is hilarious. I also love how Nolte trains the dog. Better Midler is a little annoying at first but is a little likable as the movie goes on. The sexually confused son is annoying through-out though.

  Sub-par Hollywood remake of a French film.
