  I wasn't expecting big things from this film, but having Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase starring in this, I had at least expected an easy watching comedy, but it had very little entertainment value.

• AJ V

  
  A funny, quirky, cool comedy with a good cast and an interesting story. I saw this a while ago, but I remember it was really good. I should watch this again sometime.

  A Fucking snooze.

  A very funny homage to Hitchcock.

  Foul Play is such a good movie from the 70's. Chevy Chase and Goldie Hawn are such a perfect match....I love them both. Dudly Moore has such a crazy role as a crazy bachelor trying to get Goldie. Great movie and another Goldie gem.

  The right chemistry between Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase! It's a great suspense comedy, with a shy librarian discovering a plot to assassinate the Pope when he visits San Francisco. It's got a great late-70's feeling and a bit of romance. A classic.

  An enjoyably daft screwball comedy featuring Chevy Chase when he used to be (almost) funny and a comparatively unannoying Goldie Hawn. Good fun.

  Beware of the Dwarf. A screwball comedy starring Goldie Hawn who is inavertently thrust into a plot to murder the Pope who is visiting San Francisco. She joins forces with clumsy cop Chevy Chase in his first leading role and the fun and laughs ensue. For it's time, there are great stunts and sight gags and Dudley Moore has a scene stealing role as Stanley. A very enjoyable film.

  A delightful and hilarious comedy/mystery inspired by Alfred Hitchcock thrillers. cleverly written and expertly directed by Colin Higgins. Goldie Hawn in brilliant comic performance plays Gloria Mundy, a gentle librarian who finds her peaceful existence turned upside down, when she pick-ups a hitchhiker who is being followed by a group of killers, unbeknownst to her he slips a roll of film in her pure in a box of cigarettes. They set a date to meet at a cinema, which will give him the change to retrieve the roll of film, he shows up at the cinema late, and he has been stabbed and manages to tell her "Beware of the Dwarf", before dying. His body has disappears and no one believes her. A detective nicely played by Chevy Chase in his film debut, falls for Goldie ,and they now fine themselves being chase through San Francisco by killers who are plotting to assasinate the Pope. There is real chemistry between Goldie and Chevy, and their scenes together feel real and are sweet. Scene-stealer Dudley Moore is spectacularly funny as a kinky swinger who brings Goldie to his apartment which is filled with all sorts of sex devices and tries to seduce her, it is one of the funniest scenes in the film. Another of the film's highlights is an all-out Karate fight between a game Burgess Meredith and a salacious Rachel Roberts which is a laugh riot. The rest of the supporting cast all deliver superb performances, they include Brian Dennehy, Eugene Roche, Marilyn Sokol, Chuck McCann and Billy Barty. Features a memorable Academy Award nominated theme song "Ready To Take A Change Again" sing by Barry Manilow. A true treat from the late seventies, a real pleasure. Highly Recommended.

  Goldie Hawn - playing, as always, a divorcee - meshes well with the sharp Chevy Chase in this totally ridiculous farce. It's stocked with wacky characters and unlikely coincidences, but it's an amusing enough flick if one embraces the screwy conventions. A handful of the gags are pretty weak, however, which isn't acceptable with a plot so thin. Still, Goldie Hawn was never more captivating.

  Just awesome! I love this movie. I love the humor and the suspence of it. I dare you to hate it!

  Timeless 70's classic with original ditzy Goldie Hawn and clutzy Chevy Chase. The storyline is predictable and frail yet this is one that whenever it is on, you must watch it to see how cheesy the 70's action comedies were. The two that shine in this one are Dudley Moore as the gigolo and Burgess Meredith as the protective landlord.

  I want to live on that house boat!! I really miss seeing Billy Barty in films. Why isn't Under the Rainbow on dvd? I wonder if I would like it as much as when I was a kid
