 This is a funny movie! March 15, 2006
Donna M. Glover (Oakland, CA United States)
This is a great rainy day funny movie. I wish it were out on DVD. Everything is hilarious because it is plausible. Just give it a try!
 Little Known Sleeper Comedy October 2, 2005
D. Plante (St. Joseph, MI)
This little gem of a comedy is an unexpected treasure. The entire cast is perfectly matched (especially Richard Kiel as the sophisticated mobster); his one-word dialogs are great. While not the most sophisticated comedy I've ever seen by far, it remains a favorite just due to the old style zaniness that plays out. It's too bad that it's not available as a DVD. Given the large number of very positive reviews I'd think the studio would recognize a winner. Take the time to seek this one out. It's worth it.
So funny July 18, 2004

Peekaboo jeans and Richard Kiel...what's not to love? I rented this movie a long time ago, and I've never forgotten it. I wonder how this brilliant marketing strategy would work in real life? I guess (?) we'll never know...
 Formularized and Uneven...yet hilarious! April 21, 2001

English professor O'Neal teams with his dad (Warden), a clothing designer, to save his failing business and unintentionally comes up with the latest fad: see-through jeans! If that's not enough for you, there's also a love interest between O'Neal and the wife of big Eddie (Kiel, the giant who played Jaws in several James Bond films)! Though the story is uneven and derivative, it still manages to be a hilarious, slick, superbly cast comedy. O'Neal is charming as usual, Kiel is ferociously funny, and Warden is a total knockout. Not for those seeking originality or real depth. Yet despite that, you'll have a great time. Guaranteed.
One of the funniest movies of all time November 1, 2000

This is a true gem. Written and directed by the fabulously talented Andrew Bergman (writer-director of Fletch, The Freshman, Honeymoon in Vegas, writer of The In-Laws, co-writer of Blazing Saddles), it is wild, literate and hilarious. Wonderfully written, cast and staged, it contains side-splittingly insightful send-ups of provincial state college English departments (first-rate performance by Fred Gwynne as the pompous and pedantic head of the department, Chairman Lincoln), the garment business (one of Jack Warden's best performances as Jack Fine, the owner of a perennially struggling dress business, Fine Fashions), gangsters (Richard Kiel is hilarious as the monosyllabic Mr. Eddie), romantic entanglements (Ryan O'Neal as Bobby Fine, witless associate English professor at Chippenango State College (and son of Jack Fine) and the wonderful Mariangela Melato (Swept Away, Love and Anarchy) as Lira, Mr. Eddie's wife) and grand opera (an incredible climactic scene takes place during a performance of Verdi's Otello). Full of passionate humor, Bergman is audaciously funny; he has the nerve to have Warden, upset with his son Ryan O'Neal over his having become romantically involved with gangster Richard Kiel's wife, tell O'Neal, "You gotta leave the country! Israel! You can go to Israel! You got a cousin there." With a marvelous score by Ennio Morricone. I can't wait for a DVD of this masterpiece.
