Jo P @Jo_Parker Jan 11 If you're in the mood to be cheered up with a light hearted feel-good film that makes you laugh out loud - then I highly recommend this comedy! It cannot fail to make you smile. Even though it's old it still funny! See more Stephen C @bob25009 May 27 1 hour and 55 minutes of unfunny material!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more X O 10/21/2023 A great film for the time. MS is gorgeous, not for how she looks, but how she works she's attracted. The thing I love is when she moans when RD kisses her. I'm watching this just for her doing that. I know she is acting, but she does a great job. Sometimes over the top, but she is great. See more Jack t 06/18/2023 Stakeout. This is one of those movies which I love watching. The thrills, the laughs and also the good fun. See more Troy J @Mortie 03/14/2023 This a great buddy cop movie. Great chemistry with Esteves and Dreyfuss. And Dreyfuss and Stowe. More buddy than cop. See more jon c 08/04/2022 Director John Badham makes work a tad fun but dangerous starring Richard Dreyfuss, Emilio Estevez, and Madeleine Stowe Police detectives Chris Lecce and Bill Reimers are on the hunt for escaped prisoner "Stick" Montgomery (Aidan Quinn) He just broke out of prison during a scuffle with his cousin When the trail dries up, the pair are put on around-the-clock surveillance of the fugitive's former girlfriend, Maria What starts as a boring assignment monitoring the woman with binoculars quickly turns into something more exciting when romance -- and Maria's gun-toting ex -- arrive on the scene Chris is starting to fall for Maria against his orders while Bill begs him to stick to the job assigned Can their relationship remain professional or get sidelined ? A majority of this is just on the two officers monitoring this woman Occasionally it cuts back to the escapees which is actually more interesting There's a really cool car chase in here towards the end that's very exciting And there's a final showdown that takes place at a lumberyard full of tension with everything surrounding everyone being highly dangerous The two officers have such bawdy chemistry especially when it comes to trying to one up their rivals at the precinct It's always one fun shenanigan after another Stowe is very likable here too with the romance angle being familiar but charming Plus this movie does value characters and their foibles over their firearms It's really Dreyfuss that carries much of the comedic energy The male friendships and professional relationship balance relatively well It would really have been nice if the filmmakers cut away from the stakeout more More momentum would've been welcomed but the film isn't bad See more Read all reviews
