Cheesy as hell, but it's fun and watchable enough. Nothing special

Tyler Edwin Nestor

Enthralling, hysterical, action packed and likable, this is a film that subverts adventure cliches. Plus, the leads have great chemistry.

This movie is totally worth it just for the chemistry between Douglas and Turner.

Fun characters and a storyline that kept things fairly simple. Fun, rewatchable movie.

Such fun nostalgia defining the 80s, all of the outdated moments still work on a charming level. Like mother’s milk.

Devito is great every time he’s on screen in this

So good with great cast that still aged well.

This is a great action adventure comedy starring two brilliant actors Douglas and Turner and also starring Danny Devito a great movie.

Great movie. The chemistry between the two leads was electrifying.

Awsome Romantic Adventure movie!! 80s classic
