    Boring at times but also funny at others.
  • January 11, 2009
    Classic! Killer dialogue and very natural performances lend a sharpness to this comedy of one-upmanship. The beginning of a career-defining period for director Barry Levinson.

  • May 21, 2008
    This was a wonderful movie. I love all the actors in this, not to mention "The Fine Young Cannibals" music! Who could ask for anything more?

    1 of Danny DeVitos best movies ever. Very funny & serious at the same time. A Classic Anti-Buddy Movie.

    Very witty, funny and superb acting by both Dreyfuss and Hershey
  • November 11, 2007
    A very overlooked comedy. The acting and directing here is so well done and witty. Look this one up.
