Actually the DVD I have came in a set. The Burbs and The Money Pit are the other movies. It's a Tom Hanks triple feature set.

It’s a fun movie. I saw it on tv years ago and enjoyed it.

I saw it again after a couple of decades, on one of those low-budget cable channels that shows nothing but odd movies and commercials for lawyers. It was fun, really fun! Silly plot to be sure, but Ackroyd and Hanks made it all hilarious and totally enjoyable. I don't know if I'd call it a gem, maybe more like a piece of costume jewelry, but the sort of costume jewelry that looks good and draws compliments.

It's youtube and google play, but not for free.

I bought the Shout Factory blu ray of this film on an impulse and so far it's very funny.

THAT I AM JEALOUS OF...I SKIP THE BOUTIQUE RELEASES IN FAVOR OF QUANTITY OF TITLES...BUT DAMN IF THEY AREN'T SEXY AND TEMPTING.

Great comedy, much better actors than you usually get in movies like this.
