      Tom M Silly premise, poorly acted, yet enough suspense to pass the time. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/20/20 Full Review camille l The Honeymoon Machine est une petite comédie de casse portée par l'immense Steve McQueen. L'intrigue est médiocre, le casse peu intéressant, les seconds rôles anecdotiques, mais McQueen inonde sa classe de tous les plans et fait bien marcher ses petits camarades, de simples faire-valoirs. Le film ne fait clairement aucun sens, mais chaque soulèvement de sourcil de McQueen l'emmène au dessus d'un vulgaire The Italian Job. De tous les plans, il rend ce film médiocre regardable et extrêmement sympathique. Il faut aussi souligner la belle performance de Birgid Bazlen, la seule à savoir vraiment comment rendre la réplique à McQueen. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Harmless 60's romp, but missing any charm. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Enjoyable enough comedy about Steve McQueen and his Navy buddies using ship super computers to beat the Venice roulette tables. McQueen is really the only reason to watch this film, which otherwise would have been pretty forgettable. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Silly bit of foolishness is empty cinema but fun in an mindless bubble gum way. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member one funny movie dose any one know if this out in stores or on line Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
