My GOD this was terrible!

What was Rebecca thinking when she signed up for this nonsense?

Other than the whole plot being predictable, annoying characters, stupid storyline that has been done to death, even by 1988, I never found one scene remotely funny or humourous.

It was a dumb 80´s movie for mindless movie goers. I would not even recommend watching it for free on TV as it will be a waste of 90 minutes.
There were some really BAD movies that came out in the 80´s no doubt, but this one makes Porkey´s look resonably good.

If it harms none, do what thou wilt.

Is this the first time you saw it? Because I think you had to watch it on TV all the time in the 1989/90 or so to like it now. I watched this movie tons of times as a kid when it was on, and now I love watching it whenever its on.

I've seen some really bad movies and this is far from being the worst, but it's hard to believe anyone would think this is a great movie. It's also hard to believe this was really shown at the movies. It looks more like it was made for a cable channel like HBO. I've probably watched Feds on cable about 5 times over the last 20 something years. Although not one part of the movie has ever made me laugh, I still kind of like it in a weird way. Maybe it's just because I like Mary Gross. I thought she was great on Saturday Night Live. I never liked Rebecca De Mornay in anything else I've seen her in, but I can almost tolerate her in this movie.

It's too bad Dan Goldberg and Len Blum didn't have Harold Ramis around to help them write the script. It's also too bad the movie was directed by Dan Goldberg instead of Ivan Reitman, but I guess he was too busy directing Twins or something.

Ever seen a little movie called 'The Hand That Rocks The Cradle' ? Incredible performance in a great thriller. She was an equally great psycho in the straight-to-dvd remake of the horror film 'Mother's Day' a few years back. Love her!

While I don't think it's a great film, I don't think it's terrible either. I quite enjoyed it.
