Okay, okay - I know this isn't a 'great' movie - but it is entertaining. It's kind of like a paperback novel in film version. You know it's fluff, yet you still like to watch it.

Funny, and you get to see a VERY young Aidan Quinn (I didn't even know it was him until the movie was almost over).

Although an odd pair, Estevez and Dreyfuss are hilarious in this film. Filled with tons of laughter.

Really fun movie shame about the sequel. Funny script that's delivered through some awesome facial hair.

MCT:August 25, 2007I'm not quite sure why but I really did enjoy this film. It's funny and a little stupid and very predictable but enjoyable. I don't think this film is for everyone but it's worth at least one watch.

Richard dreyfuss plays neurotic police officer chris lecce and emilio estevez plays his partner by the numbers Bill Reimers. They are best friends and partners whose last stakeout ended up being an embarrassment. All Bill reimers wanted to be is a good cop whose record has always been clean and stoodout until he was partnered with Chris lecce a neurtoic cop whose marriage is in the shambles and who always seemed to manage to embarrass his colleagues. They are called into the captain's office along with two other police officers Jack Prismo and Phil Coldshank who are played histerically by future wonder years actor dan lauria and a young forrest whitaker twenty years before his oscar win for the last king of scotland. They are all brought in with the coperation from the FBI to stakeout the house belonging to the girlfriend of violent escaped convict richard stick montgomery who plans to see his wife and get his loot which he was suppose to get before he was caught and sentence to life imprinsoment. Their jobs is to do stakeout the woman's house and to wait until the convict arrives. A babysitting job it is but as their captain tells them" it is our duty to help the FBI. Its a job. Now do It". As the week moves along and both partners stakeout across the street from maria's house, Chris leccei and his partner begin to play pranks with other morning stakeout creww as they do with night stakeout crew. Then Chris begins to fall in love with the image of Maria as he watches her across the street untilmatly ending up in her house pretending to be the electrician. As they begin to flirt with one another and fall in love ending up in bed together his partner begins to regret ever taking the job and Chris wakes up realizing that he must get out of the house and back home before the morning crew spots him. Then the real suspense comes into play when maria's convict boyfriend and two other men afinally arriving to her house.
Richard dreyfuss and emilio esteves are perfectly matched as stright lace polcie off icer and neurtoic police officers. The cehmistry is undeniable just the way danny glover and mel gibnson were perfect for eacg other in the lethal weapon movies. Dan Lauria and forest whitaker are just as good as partners who face off chris and Bill planting panks and commenst twoarss each other. Aidan quin adds a bit of menace as maria dangerous boyfriend and Madeline stowe is sexy and sultry as the hispanic maria and her chemistry with richard dreyfuss is sexy.
With a soundtrack by 80's pop duo Mr. Mr. and john badham brisk direction along with some moments and a decent script makes this movie one of the very best cop films of the 80's and some of the best of all tiome.
defintly worth watching. -
MCT:April 28, 2007I loved this comic gem about 2 cops staking out an ex-wife of an escaped convict. But mayhem insues when one of the cops starts to fall in love with her. Great movie.

Guessing this was a low budget affair, but a good story and some descent writing and actor make this a good action flick.

Richard Dreyfuss brings an unusual amount of lightly comic charm to the usual buddy cop formula, but don't expect anything wildly different from every other film of this type.
-
MCT:November 8, 2006
Brilliant action-comedy film as Richard Dreyfuss gets rather more heavily involved with the object of his and partner Emilio Estevez's surveillance than police regulations usually permit.

Richard Dreyfuss and Emilio Estevez make a great comedy duo in this funny film about a couple of cops who have to stakeout the house of a woman. In no time Dreyfuss' character falls in love with the woman. It's a great set-up for madcap comedy and it's perfectly delivered.

A very funny action comedy with some great gags between Dreyfuss and Estevez. Aidan Quinn plays a charismatic villian. The ending is expected and violent.

MCT:April 26, 2006Emelio Estevez = low star rating. It's not that he's especailly unlikable. It's more like he's never in any good movies. Including this one.
