Typical 80s comedy in that the charisma and chemistry of its stars, Candy and Pryor, shore up a weak script. Likeable because of same, but never exactly hilarious.

Forgettable comedy that stars two unforgettable comic actors. Not all that funny.

I like John Candy, I like Richard Pryor so I expected to like this movie but I really didnt find it funny at all.I found most of the movie to be lame & I can't remember a part that I laughed at.As big of a fan as I am of John Candy (I will watch any movie he's in) I found his character Spike Nolan to be EXTREMELY annoying & there were times I just wanted to shut it off.To be honest, I think I had to rewatch it a few times just to finish it all the way

This is enjoyable in a lame kind of way but should have been so much better. Richard Pryor is seldom less than funny but he's emasculated here; a million miles away from his streetwise, stand-up routine.The abrupt ending gives rise to the thought that Walter Hill wanted to get this nonsense out of the way as quickly as possible so he could return to the more manly, hard-boiled stuff which is his forté.
