Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

FlashCallahan Two street peddlers, Jack and Barney, arrive in Florida looking for a better and wealthy lifestyle, when Jack falls for Olivia, a young heiress running a shelter for orphaned children which is threatened with closure. Jack enrols both of them at a finishing school to learn the manners of the upper classes in order to fit in and hope Oliva's uncle will approve of Jack wanting her and help her obtain an inheritance to save the orphanage....I'm really surprised that there is so much love for this movie, I was expecting something way ahead of its time, but no, I got a forgettable film from the eighties.But maybe its my fault. If I had saw it around the time I was fifteen, I might be on of those stating its one of the greatest comedies ever made.Maybe if is not seen superior movies in this sub genre like, Dumb and Dumber, Wayne's World, Bill and Ted, even Night at the Roxbury, I might state the above too.But I really much doubt that.Even though it precedes the above movie by many years, the plot and the narrative is as old as the hills. Its a class war, the rich win because they are rich, but in the end get usurped by the street urchins, because they have all the best jokes and are helped by Denholm Elliott (the best thing in this movie).Toward the beginning of the final third, the titular characters get into some peril, but predictable as ever, everything comes up whoopee in the end.Its not funny, the jokes are puerile, and the leads are not very endearing, or in other words, if you don't care for the leads, how can you care about the film.Another film I missed in my youth, which I probably would have loved when I was a teenWhich isn't really saying much....

seanasnow8 My brother and I in 1987 we sacking out in the living room and this movie came on Showtime. I watched it again in 1994 with a friend. Its got a simple story line, but the characters are OUT OF THIS WORLD FUNNY. Two guys head to Florida, meet a hot woman and need to go to this institute in the everglades to learn manners to save a children's school. I mean how dumb right, the sound track gets you motivated to keep watching. When They arrive at the institute they run into the Butler and the humor blasts off with the name of the butler and Paul Rodriquez's response!!! The first night of "gentlemen school" the funniest scene ever is the dinner scene. I friggin watched this movie about ten times, and every time the dinner scene floors me. Crude stupid simple low brow cracks. This is my favorite comedy of all time. And the weird Lacrosse type game at the end. I really don't understand why more peeps don't go bonkers for this film. funny, funny funny. Another movie like this is "Young Doctors in Love", "80s"

mzkmaker I see something new every time I watch it .. you blew who ? I think this is one of the funniest movies ever made ..We have had parties just to view this film ..This has some great actors and comics in it ..You can and will be offended , but that is part of this movies charm .. This is Pauli Rodriguez's best role ever ...Eddie Deezen is great .. It is a movie to have fun with .. SO you have to sit down and wonder to your self ? do fish have .....? And what page was Eddie told to go to ? What makes good Frisbee's ? Where did Peabody go to ? what the hell is crosscut's ? And you probably will want to keep this away from the kids and great grand ma !

scottdeastman This movie is certainly not for everyone. Easily offended? Nope, not you. Only appreciate high-brow humor? No, not you either. However, if you enjoy crude humor, this is perhaps the funniest movie you will ever see. Now, as long as I have a face...
