Best movie ever!

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Compared to this movie, "Plan 9 from Outer Space" and "Santa Claus vs. the Martians" are like "Casablanca" and "Gone with the Wind". This is easily one of the worst movies ever made. A total waste of the talents of Armand Assante and Robert Logia. The script took several MAJOR departures from the source material, a very funny British farce. What should have had the look and feel of an episode of "Fawlty Towers", with frenetic pace and laughs every few seconds was instead a flat, slow, and plodding mess. Whoever did the so-called adaptation should be run out of town on a rail. Took an easy way out by adding gratuitous vulgarity in a futile attempt for laughs. We did not so much as crack a smile when we saw this garbage. It could not have been over fast enough. This is a train wreck, not a movie. The plot was incoherent and the acting completely wooden. Any elementary school play would be more entertaining. Awful doesn't begin to cover it. Makes "Modern Problems" seem worthy of an Oscar by comparison.

Well I can honestly say that this is one of the first Chevy Chase movies I haven't actually laughed at...... at least not in a good sense!! With it's predictable plot, un-funny slapstick type humour and lack of depth, this movie drones along to leave the viewer watching the clock on the DVD player anxiously awaiting 1 hour and 29 minutes to be up! Chevy Chase and the rest of the cast tried very hard, I've been a big fan of Chevy Chase all my life, and must say that I feel sorry for him being subjected to acting in this movie, guess times are desperate for him.Anyway, Die hard Chevy Chase fans will wanna check this one out regardless but don't get ur hopes up for anything special, I was hoping for a kinda " Rat Race" feel to the movie, instead I smelt a dirty rat.

This is an adequate comedy, but nothing outstanding. I understand that this was derived from a stage play, and it appears to be. Lots of talk and interplay, little "action" in the sense of car chases, etc.The story is highly improbable. Our hero, Henry, manages to switch, accidentally, a briefcase from his office with an identical one with $5 million. The switch takes place on a subway, where "Mr. Nasty" is holding the money stuffed briefcase on his lap. Henry discovers the contents of the switched briefcase, and decides to leave town immediately so that he and his wife won't get killed. Henry's wife, though, has just been discovered by a patroness of the arts, who likes her art, which is highly genitalious. The action takes place on Henry's birthday, and they're expecting guests.Getting away gets stymied by visitors, including a cabbie, two policemen, and Henry's boss. Henry spins tales to keep control while trying to get to the airport before "Mr. Nasty" finds him. Naturally, the cover stories get more complicated and the action gets rather Byzantine.The dialog gets rapid and complex. Some of it is quite amusing, but other parts kinda drag. As light entertainment, though, it's okay.

Do not watch this movie! I really think people who give this movie good ratings must be part of the production or something related because this movie is really really crappy. If I can give it minus rating I would.First the good:The concept of the movie is not bad. Funny money, a story where a man pick the wrong briefcase and have some troubles because of it. Not very creative but what the hey, sounds like a classic good old fun movie.Now the bad: 1. VERY crappy acting. You can SEE that they are acting.2. VERY crappy dialogues. Some might argue "can you write a better one?" YES I CAN. And so can YOU! 3. VERY crappy editing. I cannot say I can do a better job because I have no editing skill whatsoever but where and when they cut the movie to go to another scene is terrible. Any movie-making undergraduate can make this.4. Actors that are not in sync with each other. It seems the actors are not casted and they just pick some somewhat popular names. 5. Penelope Miller - She is over-acting and it is very very annoying. This is just personal opinion that I'm sure a lot who watched it will agree.6. Actually, most of the actors are annoying because you can't really follow the logic of their decision.This isn't even worth watching if it was free!!! Not even if you love with Chevy Chase!
