Watch Dirty Rotten Scoundrels For Free

To me, this movie is perfection.

How sad is this?

Absolutely brilliant

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Dirty Rotten ScoundrelsDirty Rotten Scoundrels is a plot driven comedy about two hustlers striking their horns against each other to prove the superiority by pulling out an impossible con. Such feature requires unbreakable chemistry that is bang on your bucks and it has got it right where at first it might raise questions but both the lead actors strikes in sync. The comic timing is off the charts by Martin but the surprising package is Caine and his range of accents who is a match for Martin. Each gags in here are essential and aren't mere hoax that is pulled off to just reach the end point. It is filled with few typical comic sketches but is slipped in so nicely that it doesn't seem forced if anything, goes with the flow and makes sense in its own world. The writing is flat out hilarious and gripping with an overstretched view but is also justifying for the audience and feasible for the makers. It falls flatly on face on technical aspects like background score, cinematography, sound department and editing although the camera work is decently handled with bright and shiny visuals and breezy and colorful locations that makes it pleasing to encounter. As mentioned earlier, the performance is aptly acted out on the comic sequences but also gets few emotional touches right, like when Headly reveals about her character, Caine pours his soul into it. Oz; the director, keeps it light and crispy and wisely doesn't go cheesy or over chews its moments which is a trap that easily such genre gets dragged into. Gripping screenplay, hilarious references mentioned in conversations and Martin's physical comic timing are the high points of the feature. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels has enough meat to feed off the audience for its runtime but it still is hollow and safe if cracked open and explored in it.

I normally shy away from writing a negative review, but...The TV listings rated this move three stars out of four, so I had to see what the film buffs on IMDb thought. My motivation was that I'd seen this movie when it was released and found it unfunny and ponderously slow.Well, to my surprise, the vast majority here seem to think that Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is a gem despite the fact that this is the only movie that ever caused me to fall asleep while watching it... in the theater.Michael Caine plays a dull Michael Caine, while Steve Martin plays an incredibly subdued version of Steve Martin, you know, the one you see in his standup act. He also does, if you can imagine this, an over-the-top version of an already over-the-top Jerry Lewis characterSo to see if I'd misread this movie, I began rewatching it as I write, and I shall be turning it off the moment I finish. At the first commercial, 19 minutes in, there has yet to be a single laugh. I don't know what so many gushing reviewers saw, but if you rely on their reviews, you've fallen victim to a dirty rotten trick.Back from Commercial, Martin s in jail and I'm watching it all the exact same way Woody Allen watched the Bogart movie in the beginning of Play It Again Sam... but with much different thoughts about what I'm watching. It's now 29 minutes in minus the commercials and still not so much as a chuckle. Luckily, writing this kept me awake.

The swagger, panache and pizazz of the 1960s blend with the me-me spirit of the 1980s for a fun romp that, despite the sheer absurdity of it all, never fails to thrill and entertain at every twist and turn of the tightly written, surprise-filled plot. Michael Caine plays His Un-Highness to a tee, Steve Martin probably never needed Frank Oz to tell him just how to make sleaze adorable, and Glenne Headly expertly turns that audacious 60s charm all the way up to 11. The final two minutes probably contain more surprises and rapturous laughs than a 10-season sitcom, so much so that it would have been a prime premise for a sequel.

This may be one of the Least Funny Most Overrated Comedies Ever. That doesn't Necessarily mean that it isn't Amusing. it Occasionally is Humorous and on Rare Occasions it is Hilarious. But it is Inconsistent and Dull at Times and the Pacing is Laborious. It Seems to take Great Care with the Costumes and the Sets going for Luscious and Beautiful (in a comedy?). Well OK, but to what End. The Strengths of the Film are the Actors, Steve Martin and Michael Cain. Cain is Fine but Martin is for Some Reason, Painfully Restrained.Director Oz is Attempting Class and does Succeed with that (in a comedy?) and it is a Throwback to what used to be Called a Sophisticated Comedy. It Works Somewhat but the Film seems Out of Time, maybe even Dated. But Folks and Critics Love this Movie and it does have a Charming Innocence that was Rare at the Time and Now is Nonexistent.Inoffensive Bit of Fluff that Never Alienates or Distances the Viewer with Outrageousness or an Over the Top Reach. No it just sort of Lies There and Casually Asks You to Like it and many took the Bait. Steve Martin Fans may give the Comedian Kudos for Underplaying and Still Managing to be Steve Martin Funny. He and the Movie are Somewhat Successful, but Overall it isn't much, but has a Certain Easy Appeal.
