Dorathen Better Late Then Never

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

mark.waltz A similar set-up of a film made after this one shows that even an apparent rip-off can be funny, although I can tell honestly that the 1987 Bette Midler/Shelley Long comedy was not ripping this off. It's a shame because I had high hopes for the first pairing of Gene Wilder and Gilda Radner, and they end up with a humorless thriller that wastes their talents. If I had wanted a spy thriller, I would have gotten a James Bond film, not Willy Wonka meets Emily Latella. Wilder is in the wrong place at the wrong time, ending up accused of killing Kathleen Quinlan and on the run with Radner, going from New York to Boston to the grand canyon while being chased by Richard Widmark and his thugs for a convoluted old computer tape. It is a mess of a plot with familiar character players popping up in minute long cameos. It took a while for this to get off the ground, and I breathed a sigh of relief when Gilda showed up. Unfortunately, there aren't really any major laughs, and far too many plot twists, none of which are thick enough to fill up the holes. Gene and Gilda deserved a lot better than this, especially in a film directed by Sidney Poitier.

andredejongh I can be short about this movie: Hilarious. It made me laugh so much that I almost ran out of oxygen.Of course the story line is thin, and the musical score is just horrible.... but it is about the slapstick, the over the top panicking and the making fun of and the trying to escape from the otherwise in real life quite scary and threatening situations.Of course the airplane scene is the most funniest scene I have ever seen in a movie. It appeals on everyone's fears that when in an airplane you could crash and that the pilot is just a person of flesh and blood who could become ill or whatever. I am sure that every airplane passenger with a little bit of fear of flying has thought about this.And the airplane scene is not funny because the pilot is belching, like I read in a review. That would mean this film would be on the level of the Naked Gun series. The belching is just the introduction to this scene, the warming up. You think that this must be the funny part, and you start to laugh a little bit while thinking: "Is this supposed to be funny?". But when you know Gene Wilder's humour you know it can not stop there.No, the comedy starts after this, when the pilot dies. When Gene Wilder just does not want to know the truth and just does not want to face reality and chooses to deny reality, to which audiences can relate: everyone at least at one point in their lives chooses to put their head in the sand. But when Gene Wilder does it, he does it in such a hilariously, hysterical funny way.This film always stayed with me, over the years. And I just saw it again and it made me laugh just as hard as it did before, when I was in my teens.So go along with the make believe, do not demand a solid script and just go with the slapstick and the hysteria. And laugh!

asanlui Don't know why so many other people gave the move such bad ratings.I think it was pretty good.Clever, mysterious, suspenseful, a dash of romance! Gene Wilder as "Michael Jordan" in 1982!!! That's just awesome right there! The scene in the bus when Gene & Kate do their "magic act"! And so many good quotes, like the helicopter scene when the pilot can't stop burping, then all of a sudden he has a stroke and 'Michael Jordan' goes, "I'm gonna die! yie-yee-aye-eeeee!!!" and Kate keeps on saying how the pilot's dead and Gene goes, "Nooo!!! Don't tell me that! He's not dead, he's not dead!!!" And the whole tape thing with binary numbers and the octal numbering system.Come on, even the hackers portrayed in movies these days don't have this kind of stuff in it.And not to mention all the cameos!! Shoot, I don't know the actors' names, but I know I've seen many of them in movies in the past decade! This movie has great stuff in it. Indeed.Definitely anyone who is a Gene Wilder fan.And directed by Sidney Portier of all people? Yowza!!!

Freya(sableOnBlond) the-real-roobeemoon I like this movie - based on the 2 stars in it - Gene Wilder & Gilda Radner. They make this flick watchable. They are a sweet and funny comedic duo. I know this movie is billed as a comedy and I feel that the reason for that is - basically because Gene and Gilda are / were COMEDIANS... It's a little funny - It's more like a mystery. Which actually makes for the reason this film is so misunderstood. To put two well-known comedians , head - to - head , in a mystery - wanna - B - comedy ... Well , it speaks for itself. But I like it. It's cute and Gene and Gilda are cute in it. It's not as good as the other films they are in together , but then again - the movie wasn't writtenfor them - and the other movies the two appear in together ARE , most definately COMEDIES.
