OMG, I haven't seen this before and had the DVD for ages and I'm trying to work out why I never watched it before today. IT'S ABSLOUTELY HILARIOUS, everybody is suitably casted and had a whale of a time. There are so many funny moments from DeVito's reaction and smile when he realizes that somebody is about to do him a huge favor, Middler ridiculing her Kidnappers, DeVito's battle with a Dog, a Mugger who stumbles in a Police Sting and Pullman's reaction when he realizes that Policemen are at a ransom drop, when he's trying to steal the money.
I thought that seeing it's a 1986 Film, it would be outdated, it's not. |
I remember this being in the video shop back in the late 80s and I wanted to watch it but being too young, still never seen it but I want to check it out all over again
