Watch Deal of the Century For Free

You won't be disappointed!

That was an excellent one.

Strong and Moving!

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

there just aren't any movies about the arms trade. let alone satires.its not supposed to be funny. its supposed to be ironic and make a social statement. but if you cannot see the humor in a bunch of dancing girls throwing hulas around generals at a party/trade-show called "arms for peace '84", then maybe you don't have a sense of humor. the only way i can figure that someone doesn't see humor in this is that they have never actually been to an air show, visited a defense plant, or studied anything about the weapons / airplane industry, or perhaps they have completely forgotten the Cold War and what it was like. the idea of selling a bunch of useless weapons off to a third world dictator, while a rich Arabian sells weapons to his enemy, is sick and funny but most of all it's true.anyone who likes family guy or futurama will have a good chance of appreciating this movie.

The first few minutes of this flick are hilarious with the great character actor Wallace Shawn as a nervous wreck of a salesman. After his exit from the picture this poor film goes no where real fast. Gregory Hines has a couple of funny scenes but that's about it.

Messy satire on selling arms to third world nations that relies too heavily on Chase to carry us through. Chase does what he can, but even he cannot save Paul Brickman's unimaginative script.

Sit in a hard chair if you intend on staying awake through all of Deal of the Century. This movie is just plain boring. It deals with Chase, Weaver, and Hines trying to sell a bunch of pilotless planes to a dictator who looks like Saddam Hussein's chipper twin. There are a few funny lines. Overall you'll just wonder what on earth is going on but won't care enough to rewind and try to find out. Wallace Shawn is the only bright spot in this mess, but he's eliminated quickly.
