      Steve D Even as a kid I couldn't get through it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Perhaps a forgotten gem of the '80s. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review mani b I know this movie is crap but it's a movie that I grew up to. Plus, you've gotta love the Mercedes! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Two preteens act like adults in stealing cars, waving guns, and going to bars while trying to find an absentee father. The white kid Obie bothered me. His mom deserved to be treated better. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Saw this movie as a somewhat innocent kid then again as a cynical adult.i still love the 'sheltered suburb kid meets street-wise hustler' angle and their need for guidance without fathers they desperately miss. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member 'Dumbest white boy in the history of white boys' teams up with street kid in borrowed Mercedes to retrieve his stolen diver's watch and locate his new friend's father. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times The result is more entertaining than you might think. Rated: 3/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Octavi Marti El Pais (Spain) The director is a competent filmmaker who tries to maintain the rhythm and disengage himself from certain insurmountable burdens. [Full Review in Spanish] Jun 4, 2020 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Jul 21, 2005 Full Review Caffeinated Clint Moviehole A hip comedy classic that's as much fun as it is a blast from the past Rated: 3/5 Mar 31, 2005 Full Review Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat Spirituality & Practice Scripter Joe Eszterhas and director Robert Mandel squander most of the riches of this story by focusing on the boys' combat with two drug dealers.
