Watch Man Trouble For Free

I love this movie so much

Simply A Masterpiece

Good movie but grossly overrated

Good concept, poorly executed.

I think "Man Trouble" is one of Jack Nicholson's funniest movies. He doesnt try to be funny, he is just his usual frustrated self, but that is part of the charm of this buddha figure of the acting world. Jack is funny and charming even when he just would sit in a chair. In "Man Trouble¨ Jack plays a dog trainer who comes to the rescue of the lovely Ellen Barkin, who is being stalked by some mysterious creep. That's why even feminists love this movie. Jack Nicholson "looks upon a woman as a whole", end of quote. A budding romance, hilariously funny nigthly attacks by the stalker and a lot of hilarious woman vs men jokes are what follows."Man Trouble" is a gem of a comedy. I have been cherishing this movie for years. Seen it multiple times and I keep loving it. The woman vs man jokes are just to die for. Hilarious. Good date movie. But it is more than that. Comedies often get underrated by the oscars. Correction, they get underrated ALL the time by the oscars. But I appreciate a good laugh better than "The Godfather" how magnificent that movie might be. A comedy I can watch time and again and it will make me feel good, while an excellent masterpiece like "The Godfather" will surely entice me into heaven, but there is a limit to how much drama I can take every month. Therefore I really cherish movies like "Man Trouble" because they have that rare feel good touch, that works as a charm EVERY time I want some comic relief...Great soundtrack by the way and also great supporting actors: Harry Dean Stanton, Veronica Cartwright who both starred together in "Alien".

Bob Rafelson is a puzzling director. After his big successes with "Fiver Easy Pieces" and "The King of Marvin Gardens", Mr. Rafelson doesn't seem to come out with a film project that will take him back to his past glory. This is evident with the disastrous "Man Trouble" shown on cable recently.The film is a mess. Jack Nicholson, an actor who has worked with the director before with better results, plays the main role of Harry Bliss a trainer of dogs without any redeeming qualities. Harry is married to an Oriental woman and is working his marital problems with a counselor. Harry gets involved with Ellen Barkin, who is being stalked. The solution is to get a German Shephard dog to protect her. She has moved to her sister's swanky home where probably the only funny scene happens. We watch Ms. Barkin working with the dog and all her commands have to be in German, otherwise the dog doesn't respond! The others in the cast are totally wasted. Beverly D'Angelo has some good moments. Michael McKean, Saul Rubineck, Henry Dean Stanton, are seen in supporting roles.See if there is something else to watch, but don't make the same mistake we made.

With the talent involved here, it should have been a much better film than it is. Music by Georges Delarue, director Bob Rafelson...Basically it's a lightweight romantic comedy which is attempting to emulate classics comedies about a rich girl meets non-rich guy (think Katherine Hepburn) but it just doesn't have the class or punch of earlier classics in this genre.The cheap looking opening credits/cartoon are the first indication that something is amiss here. The first half is quite OK but after that, you just don't care enough about these people to stay with the film. There's something incredibly shallow about all those involved and the 'comedy' is just too obvious...problem animal, hispanic housekeeper, mismatched/deceived couples.I don't think it's until Harry Dean Stanton makes an appearance quite late in the film that you think, aaah, now we've got a movie. But it's all too late.

The only good thing about this film is the dog - and he does not even appear on the credits, poor fellow. Even then, he just is not in the canine oscar league, as he is evidently overshadowed by other more gifted mongrels and thoroughbreds alike in dozens of films. Anyway, 4 for the dog, 3 for the film and near zero for ........who was the main actor? Oh,......Jack Nicholson. He must have rolled this one between good drinking sessions with his Las Vegas buddies. I'll give him half a point ....... and only because it was not Bruce Willis.
