    Martin Short is brilliant. Nick Nolte just beats him up a lot in this film, you can almost feel his pain. The little girl is also weird. Watch it for Martin Short, unless you don't like Martin Short, then you shouldn't watch it.

    Nick has just left prison and bumps into Martin who robs a bank, but the cops think Nick has done it, so they go on the run.

    A kind of family version of 48 hours, Nick Nolte keeps it watchable, but we've seen it all before countless times.

    "Nick Nolte is an experienced criminal trying to go straight until bumbling bank robber, Martin Short and his young daughter enter his life and turn it upside down in "Three Fugitives".
