UNDERRATED


I thought this movie was great, I don't know why it's imdb score is so low. This is one of Dudley Moore's best!

I agree! This movie never gets as much credit as it should.... it's one of my absolute favorite Dudley films!

Well, my personal opinion is that saying "one of his(Moore's) best" is not really saying that much, but that's not the point of my rant...I think the movie really slipped into a lot of easy cliches, which disappointed me. There were absolutely some comically genius moments in the movie, but too many moments of slow, typical movement to call great. I rate it a 7 of 10, and would recommend it, but would preface a recommendation with "don't expect a classic, but there are some hilarious moments!"

The ads in the movie were great, the plot line was kind of dull.

"If there's a fool in the woods, and no one to hear his Jibba Jabba, will Mr. T still pity him?"

I agree that the ads were the highlight, but the plot was only so-so. Still, because the ads were so hilarious, I loved this film. You didn't have to wade through too much plot before they'd trot out a new ad slogan. This film is a great pick me up -- as long as you don't focus on the fact that much of the cast is dead now.

Seriously, yes I am bringing up this thread after 5 years, I'm watching this tonight for the first time... even though I remember when it first came out... I miss Dudley Moore, the world is a far less humorous place without him in it.

There's nothing crazy about that. This is an excellent comedy with heart – thanks mainly to the late, great Dudley Moore, whom I miss tremendously also.

I was thinking the same thing, a very good comedy!
