Great comedy. Seems like one of the first of its kind.
Underrated… Michael Keaton’s crazy to Henry Winkler’s straight guy was perfect. Shelly Long was terrific. Lots of laughs.
Early Ron Howard. Keaton was great but couldn’t get past Winkler being “The Fonz”.
Is always so fun to watch the 80s comedies. Michael Keaton stole the show big time.
The three leads absolutely carry this movie, and there's never been a hooker with a brighter heart of Gold than Shelley Long.
My first introduction to Michael Keaton. Funny movie at the time. Haven’t seen it in years
A early Ron Howard film. That's darkly funny
Not sure I actually saw this or 1 of the similar films from this era starring Keaton. I do believe it's a cool comedy though!
Funny 'workmate from hell' theme. Keaton comes up with schemes (feed tuna fish mayonnaise, sell them ready eat). Winkler is straight man
Keaton was easily the best part of the movie
