Frans B @FransB Nov 15 Funny enough, twists, dilemma, suspense, some hilarious moments and what a cast! All the great names in comedy makes this tolerable. Story lacks a little backbone, but intriguing nonetheless. Good old '90's flair and style. Great cinematography and visually appealing, easy to watch See more Alain E @AlainE Sep 4 Unfortunately the naysayers are right. The film has good production values, well known cast, nice cinematography and no story. I watched 28 minutes and finally gave up See more james w 02/15/2024 Eugene Levy's directorial debut. Star studded cast, one of the last John Candy films… 1992 was campy & not yet modern- but that's what makes this so binge worthy. It u lived it, u'll love it. If u r a millennial, consider it homework for historical context. See more Steve D 02/22/2023 Not one single thing works in this mess. See more 02/18/2021 A recent discovery that entertained me with its unique take on a Murder Mystery, John Candy is a personal highlight of the film for me. See more 04/29/2020 Hysterically funny. Excellent plot that cracks along and manages to surprise. This from an age when people knew how to make a three act play. Acting is over the top comedy acting typical of its time. I suppose this is the biggest obstacle to Gen Y who would watch this movie without the requisite preparation. If you like Spies Like Us, Trading Places, Coming To America, Armed and Dangerous, See No Evil Hear No Evil, Life of Brian, or even American Pie, you would love this movie. See more Read all reviews
