Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Steve Martin did this same movie in 1992 with Goldie Hawn. Named HouseSitter I'm not saying that this movie is bad. Not at all it has it's moments, but we've seen it before with a better leading lady.. Of course this one has the prison twist on it, but basically it's the same movie. Now this is just my humble opinion so thank you for reading.
This movie is just a funny, feel good experience to revisit time and time again.
I'd say the movie demonstrates upper class living, with membership to the club with a pool and a golf course and driving nice cars? in Los Angeles? If this is middle class then my condo-owning workaday world with an 11 year old VW is the ghetto.Really fun movie, had to keep myself from switching channels a couple times but mostly watchable, and even a solid real laugh out loud from Queen's stellar performance. Nice to see August in something besides 2.5 men. Betty White was charmingly hilarious, as was Virginia Arness, who played the high-brow old-world slave-owning aging débutant to a 'T'. They 'fixed' all that with a club scene to remember!
This movie is awful. Another lame attempt to exploit black culture. One clichéd black/white joke after another. Unoriginal. How do people find this kind of movie entertaining? This movie drives home the point of just how "white" white people are and how hanging out with a hip cool black person can change all of that. Watching this movie makes you wonder if the equal rights movement ever happened. It makes black people seem as if their only place in society are housemaids, rappers, or felons. Personly if I were African-American i would be appalled at this movie. Do yourself a favor and never watch this movie. In fact burn every copy of it you come across.
