Audience Member Great farce, Raul Julia is fantastic Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/08/22 Full Review Joe E S I don't understand the low ratings on this movie. I thought it was excellent. Richard Dreyfuss hams it up just enough to make it humorous. It makes fun of Hollywood, actors, American Foreign policy, third world dictators and the CIA. What more could one ask for? Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/22/22 Full Review Audience Member Pretty much Dave which came along a couple of years later. Definitely not as good as Dave though. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Raul Julia is great in this movie Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review s r A little ridiculous, but still fun and close to the bone. I saw it for the great cast. YouTube was the medium. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review steve d It's not remotely amusing. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
