Quite possibly one of the best movies ever...


Fun. Exciting. Great score. Shenanigans. Location. Sex and $... betrayal...

This is one of my all-time favorite comedies. The "tickle" scene is inspired. The look he gives Freddy when he says "We'll have to try something a little more . . . . stringent". I'm laughing just thinking about it.

Most people talk about how good/bad Steve Martin was, but Michael Caine owned the film in my opinion.

He played a great straight man to Steve Martin's lunacy.

I think Steve Martin got the bigger laughs though (but I like Caine better in the movie anyway, he was one smooth operator in this).

I was expecting to come here and see it getting a 5 out of 10 or something. It's good that it's at getting at least what it deserves, in 7 out of 10. It is a very funny film.

reply

Yes, it's a really classy comedy. Funny, intelligent and not relying on base filthy humour and bad language to get its laughs like 99% of modern 'comedies'.

reply

I gave it a 9. Anyone who has acting experience knows it's harder to do comedy than drama. This is not only one of the best comedies, but also one of the best films ever.

reply

I agree 9/10 it is fantastic. After watching it today for the first time, it is now one of my favourite comedies.

One of the funniest movies ever made, starring 2 actors at the top of their game.
The dinner table scene alone is worth 7/10 for comedy gold.

STRONG AGREE, GREAT FILM! Rewatched this the other day and pissed myself laughing from start to finish. Works as both a great film and a great comedy film.
