3.5/4
Off Beat is a movie with a sharp edge and more than a little hostility, but the over-all feeling is sort of warm and romantic. Go to Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com 09/17/2005

Steve D 03/05/2023 Contrived and predictable. See more 04/27/2016 A man poses as a cop all in the name of love in this silly comedy. See more 07/26/2010 A pleasant comedy with good intentions, not particularly memorable though. Whatever happened to Judge Reinhold?? See more 02/25/2010 One of the earliest Touchstone movies does not seem to have aged well, but it wasn't bad. An OK comedy with some funny moments from Judge Reinhold. (First and only viewing - 12/6/2009) See more 12/06/2009 Its just an average comedy to me. I probably wouldn't watch it again. See more 12/13/2008 OK time waster. Also see Hero At Large for similar effect. See more Read all reviews
