Underrated

Is it just me, or is this movie underrated? I used to catch it on TV a couple of years ago, and I liked it.

You´re right, it really isn´t so bad. Unfortunately I just missed the first 30 min of it. :(

Yes, I think so. I really enjoyed this movie, and almost everybody I've mentioned it to doesn't care for it. :( I thought it was good!

It's a watchable movie, thanks mainly to the presence of Dudley Moore, who brings so much more to the the film than the script allows.

I just watched it for the first time today, and, it really wasn't that bad, very predictable, but, it was enjoyable.

although webmaster has said a bit much about it, I just watched it for the first time in about 20 years, and it is pretty good. Dudley Moore is the "actor" in this one.

it's hillarious and classic 80's to boot

I second that! The first time I watched this movie, I laughed so hard that my sides literally hurt and I could not get myself to stop laughing. The scene in the boardroom was HILARIOUS! It makes ya wonder how in the world the doctors sat there without even cracking a smile! Even if they did 20 takes of that scene, I've heard that Dudley never did the same thing twice so they probably had no idea what to expect from him.

Personally, I love this movie. I don't think I've ever read a single good review for it, and even the (often generous) User Comments are pretty harsh.

This is a class film i watched it many times as a teenager and loved it and as an adult i love it just as much I guess you had to be in touch with the actors characters and time frame to really enjoy this wonderful film the 80ties had their highs and lows but this film to me was a certain high ....freaky friday very enjoyable but Kirk and Dudley are well ahead of the times and brilliant in their respective roles...
