Better Late Then Never
A waste of 90 minutes of my life
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Blistering performances.
It's not a good movie and if things like a person being able to levitate a table because he's a psychic bother you, then you might find this annoying, but it's actually a cute buddy comedy and Stuart Panking is an overly nice guy sticking up for his gifted but doesn't always fit in friend played brilliantly by Bronson Pinchot. Playing foil to the two buddies is talented John Laroquette who plays their grumpy boss.The story gets old by the end but the first hour or so of the Movie is fresh and silly and carried by the actors, Bronson especially.
Granted in 1989 there were not too many advances in special effects and the movie was indeed low budget, but there was always the underlining humor throughout the entire movie. Numberous funny one liners were delivered by John Larroquette were done so with just the right attitude and degree of seriousness to make the line that much funnier. I disagree with everyone who says that the movie was borish and unfunny, you must look deeper into the lines delivered then just the surface humor and slapstick. This movie to this day remains one of my all time favorites. If they ever released it on DVD I would be first in line to buy a copy.
As a "B" movie, this production is quite entertaining. It was a Johnn Laroquette, Bronson Pinchot movie from the late 80's based around a psychic (Pinchot), the psychic's "handler," and the lawyer who represents them (Laroquette). They are a crime solving team who end up in some very funny situations.The effects were corny but entertaining, the story line/plot is very cohesive, and the sub-plot is intelligent and interesting; something I didn't expect from a low budget production like this.If you liked "Vibes," "Witch Hunt," or "Ghostbusters 1 and 2," you will enjoy this movie very much.Rent it, settle down on a weekend night with a bowl of popcorn and amuse your sense of humor.It gets a 6.8/10 from...the Fiend :.
Oh my goodness this is a terrible film that feels long even though it is not (83 minutes). Television stars John Larroquette ("Night Court") and Bronson Pinchot ("Perfect Strangers") prove that they cannot handle anything that lasts longer than 30 minutes. They also have trouble with a dreadful screenplay and non-existent direction. The film deals with two detectives who use a mystic to solve a crime. Do yourself a favor and avoid this one at all costs. Turkey (0 out of 5 stars).
