Plot: At the height of urban paranoia and the birth of survivalist movement in the 1980s, director Michael Ritchie decided to team Robin Williams and Walter Matthau.

Williams and Matthau play two victims of Reaganomics, unemployed acquaintances who witness a robbery and identify one of the participants to the police, an act that turns them into targets for the robber in question, who comes looking for them. Williams's response: become a one-man arsenal and join a training camp for militant survivalists. But the comedy is neither sharp enough nor sufficiently smart to pull it off; Matthau is the calm center while Williams's comedy rockets all around him, to surprisingly little effect. --Marshall Fine

    Absolutely hilarious... Jerry Reed, Walter Matthau, and Robin Williams play off one another so well. This movie is so much better than it ever got credit for.

    Silly movie, but I seem to recall it had some heart. Robin Williams was still "Mork" back then, trying to make his way into features. Somehow, he did.
