5 out of 5 stars Flawless, true comedy   December 20, 2006
  1 out of 2 found this review helpful

This is probably the funniest film I have ever seen. There are so many twists to the plot, so many brilliant performances, it would be impossible to list them. All I can say is - watch this film! It is totally brilliant in every way.


3 out of 5 stars A passable re-make of a classic Ealing Comedy?   April 7, 2006
  6 out of 8 found this review helpful

The film is amusing and has 2 good central characters in DeVito and Midler; if you enjoyed it try the classic Ealing Comedy - "Too Many Crooks" which was surely the inspiration for this film. The peerless Terry-Thomas plays a self made, womanising, millionaire tax dodger who refuses to buy back his wife from George Cole's incompetent criminal gang (including Sid James Bernard Bresslaw) His wife takes over and gets her revenge and his money. The court scene at the end is very funny. Please watch both and compare!


5 out of 5 stars A great movie, with non-stop hilarity!   May 6, 2005
  7 out of 10 found this review helpful

Sam Stone (played by Danny DeVito), millionaire women's clothing mogul, is tired of his fat, irritating wife Barbara (Bette Midler), and is ready to murder her. But, when he finds out that she has been kidnapped, and will be murdered if anything goes wrong, all of his dreams have come true. Ken Kessler (Judge Rienhold) and his wife Sandy (Helen Slater) were ripped off by Sam, and figure that by kidnapping Barbara, and getting Sam's money that they would be even, but they wouldn't hurt a fly. Sam's mistress Carol (Anita Morris) has a boy toy of her own and wants to get her hands on Sam's money. Also, there's a cold-blooded murderer stalking L.A. and he could be anywhere. Oh oh, this could get complicated...and hilarious! pThis is a great movie! Created by Zucker, Abrahams, and Zucker, this offbeat movie is just as funny as their other hits, Airplane and The Naked Gun, but has a more solid storyline. I loved the characters and the non-stop hilarity, and have watched this movie many times over the years. pNow, I must mention that this movie is rated R for a reason. There are numerous "adult" scenes (though no nudity) and a good deal of swearing. So, if you are going to watch this movie with the whole family, you'll have to stand by the fast forward button. pBut, that said this is a great movie, with non-stop hilarity! If you are looking for a side-splitting movie, then look no further. Buy this movie!

This is the kind of film thats on the tv all the time and you watch it all the time but you never buy it. Well soon they will stop showing it on the tv and believe me you'll miss it. The film is about a business man, Sam, whose wife is kidnapped by Ken and Sandy who want revenge on Sam for stealing there savings. Once his wife learns that he doesn't care about her release she befriends the kidnappers. Starring Bette Midler. Wonderfully Witty.
