Affluent and arrogant businessman Goddard Bolt, feuding with rival Vance Crasswell over a land deal, makes a bet with Crasswell that he has the wits and street smarts to live penniless and anonymous on the rough streets of Los Angeles for thirty days. But Bolt has a rude awakening when the reality of homelessness hits him. Still, he finds a silver lining in a burgeoning romance with Molly, a former Broadway dancer who has fallen on hard times.

Funny, but not Mel's best. Sad that this was the last film he wrote and directed

Aaaaaaaagh i don't know, i like some of it i guess

Watched it drunk and enjoyed it. Not the best Brooks film but definitely not the worste. Has its moments.

One of Brooks' films that it is not just funny but also has a good topic/content. Not just the brainless funny.

Alan John Gerstle

Mel Brooks is a wealthy CEO who suddenly becomes homeless. Beneath the humor & gonzo acting, there's a contemporary message.

Jacob Jenneiahn

Probably the least of his movies, yet Mel Brooks can't help but be funny.

A decent movie certainly not the best of Mel Brooks’ catalog, but not the worst either.

A mediocre Mel Brooks film. Much better than that garbage show on Hulu.

Rick Anthony McArthur

A 30 years old movie that looked it when it 1st got a VHS release! Def' it seemed like Mel was taking any cheap script by this point! Sad!

MOLLY: "I Want You!", GODARD (Pepto): "Where Are You!?"
