Watch Hiding Out For Free

Best movie of this year hands down!

Sorry, this movie sucks

Just what I expected

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

Jon Cryer is a yuppie stockbroker who has become a government witness for a mobster's trial for fraud. When it becomes apparent that his life is in danger, Jon's character decides to run and hideout as a high school senior. He has a new life in a small town where his aunt and cousin live, while the mobster's gang and the FBI are hunting for him. This is a funny, if somewhat improbable, story made very watchable by the likability of all of the main characters. The most unlikely plot line has the main character, Max Hauser, and a janitor living in the basement of the local high school. After a semester, this housing arrangement would most likely be noticed in real life, but it makes for some funny scenes of Max rollerskating through the hallways at night.

I know there are some people who did not like this show. I have to say I loved it and thought the ending to be perfectly suited! It ended in a romantic note and find it to be better than most other movies or shows today! You know, the movies that end in violence and no hope for happy a ending! I love his acting! I think he is adorable in most anything he has acted in! To see he is still acting warms my heart. I hope he continues on with his career for many more years to come! As a note to Jon keep up the excellent work! I would love to see this movie again! I wish for others to see and appreciate an all around lovely movie with a wonderful ending!

This is one of those films from the 80's that may not have been up to scratch in comparison to other popular movies at the time, but now that we're way beyond that time period, I rank it higher than many popular films of the time. It just seems equally cool now as it did before. It didn't have the best script and it had clichés, but it wasn't cliché in and of itself, because it did everything so much differently. It's something you watch knowing that it won't be realistic, but counting on enjoying it as an escape from reality.Jon Cryer's character is nervous and almost twitchy from the beginning, but his transformation into a teen shows a definite conflict, where his fun loving self is trying to get out. Gradually, these desires to have a good time with his situation start to come out. And yet, he can't stop doubting himself and trying to stop the flow of coincidences causing him to unwillingly come into the limelight. It's really an enjoyable performance and a fun movie with some really notable quotes. The type of movie that, had it reached just a little larger of an audience, may have become a cult classic.

"Hiding Out" is a decent lightweight feature for Jon Cryer and Keith Coogan fans alike. Cryer plays a financial investor who is witness to a mobster's inside trading. But, instead of expediting his testimony and sending him to the witness protection program, he plays dress up and poses as a high school student, a task which is he too uptight for at first, but eventually gets into the swing of things. The story is pretty stupid, and the ending, in that eager attempt for a happy ending by letting all of the characters fall in love while impecably saving the day, is even more stupid. But, if you don't mind dumb 80s comedies like these, so long as they're about the teen life, then you should enjoy this. One thing's for sure, Jon Cryer, no matter how old he gets, still looks like a teenager.
