Two comic masters with a laugh filled take on a Hitchcock classic. Crystal and Devito are in prime shape here.
Great dark comedy. Billy Crystal is always a treasure
Quid pro quo, man child with problems with the bad Mom from Goonies
One of the funniest movies I’ve seen. Danny Devito is classic.
One of Danny DeVitos best, a really well done spoof of a classic Hitchcock film.
Pretty good little comedy that’s not really funny other than someone could come up with this idea and Danny plays the role perfectly
I had good laughs when I watched it. If you love dark comedies, you'll like it.
Cute enough. Crystal, DeVito and Greist are a good combo.
The plot is ridiculous, but the comedy and performances sell it perfectly.
Taking comedy to a whole new level. Not a fan of the ending.
