Degenerate Monty Capuletti (Rodney Dangerfield) is perfectly content spending his life drinking, smoking and gambling with his other layabout buddies. His wealthy mother-in-law, Mrs. Monahan (Geraldine Fitzgerald), has long disapproved of Monty's irresponsible behavior, but when she dies she leaves him $10 million in her will. However, predictably, there is a catch: Monty has to change his life and live vice-free for one year in order to collect the money.

Gary Arnold Washington Post It's not what you'd call a classic or a class comedy act, but it has the kick of an embryonic pop phenomenon. Jun 19, 2018 Full Review Empire Magazine Rated: 3/5 May 23, 2013 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times If you are not a Dangerfield fan, of course, probably nothing on earth could induce you to go to this movie. The great Dangerfield movie, however, has still to be made. This one doesn't get quite enough respect. Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 23, 2004 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com '...reckless, irresponsible fun...' Rated: 3/5 Apr 7, 2022 Full Review Matt Brunson Creative Loafing While it's ultimately a hit-and-miss affair, it boasts enough clever bits (particularly during the first half) to make it worthwhile. Rated: 2.5/4 Sep 12, 2015 Full Review Bill Gibron Filmcritic.com it's Dangerfield's emergence as a certified movie star that makes this movie worth investigating Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 22, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews

Matthew L This is a fantastic and underrated classic. Rodney Dangerfield is a believable character and Joe Pesci is brilliant as usual. This is worth the 95 minutes and then some. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/24 Full Review Steve D It all comes off obnoxious and gross. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/24 Full Review S R One of my few favorites from childhood. Rodney Dangerfield is hilarious as always and an added bonus having Joe Pesce in a well done comedy role. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/05/23 Full Review christopher c. m This kind of story isn't new, they did something like in "The Flintstones". And the subplot of who's paying for Monty's daughter's wedding can kill the pacing. But it's Rodney Dangerfield, he's always brilliant. With great laughs and not original but fun plot. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Lyrical genesis for Anthrax’s “I’m The Man”, this low brow comedy has an embarrassingly low laugh-per-minute average. Juvenile direction is as uneven as Dangerfield is uncouth. Editing is scattershot & script feels unfinished. #nitrosMovieChallenge Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/19/22 Full Review Audience Member This is a hidden gem. I have to say, for anyone who was a Dangerfield fan, this is almost a must see. The plot was a loose one and the entire daughter/marriage subplot didn't do much for me but the one liners cover up the faults. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
