Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/18/23 Full Review Lee G Doesn't deserve the negative reception by critics. Loved the movie as a kid and still do as an adult. Funny and heartwarming Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/25/23 Full Review Dale F I went back and watched..Martin Short is really a funny man...Still enjoyed this movie since the last time I saw it as a kid Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/25/22 Full Review Stephen C LOL, the funniest 01 hour: and 36 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/28/22 Full Review Audience Member Most critics don't like this one, but they are all wrong. Martin Short is brilliant in this film and teaming him up with Nick Nolte was genius. Their acting is perfect and the charisma is classic straight man vs dope. If the language wasn't so bad, I'd give it more stars. It would have been a family classic without that one flaw. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
