Absolutely Fantastic
Absolutely brilliant
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
i laughed so much with this movie that i haven't laughed in a while. The reason is i don't find most modern actors funny,i think its not their fault its just that these times are not funny.Reynolds is from another era of different people ,he was a guy who knew what fun is supposed to be,in those days when he was king of Hollywood it was easier to have fun.As a movie star he never took himself seriously and that was the secret of his appeal.He was too good-looking,had too many women and too much success. In this movie he plays a guy who is a has-been,an older guy who still chases women and tries to make a fast score.Considering at one point some years back Reynolds was almost broke himself,this character is as close as you can get to the real Burt or at least the Burt persona. Burt plays this role knowing perfectly well thats how most people perceive him.He also has some of his friends do walk ons,there's a hilarious bit with Gary Busey. If you ever laughed with Reynolds and his particular humor,you'll enjoy this silly movie.If his style leaves you cold ,forget about this movie.I have always enjoyed Burt even in his older silly movies like Cannonball and such,so i also enjoyed this.In,fact i think he is funnier in this role making fun of his persona than he was in some of his hits.Definitely a silly movie but Reynolds is funny in it.
This is quite possibly one of the worst movies I have watched in a long, long time. After reading some of the positive comments about it though I am really shocked that some people enjoyed this. I honestly believe that this movie getting a 3.7 is about 2.7 points too much...This movie was a complete waste of my time and just reiterated my belief that Burt Reynolds is officially an acting has-been. The acting is forced and rides along cameo appearances (and less notably, mentions) by Tony Danza (and Anthony Hopkins).Looking at these 'strippers' play volleyball can only bring about so much excitement, and it certainly does not warrant an entire hour and a half of your life...Stay away from this movie if you can, its not deserving of any of your money, or you time for that matter.
A 3.7 you guys gotta ease up a little this movie wasn't that bad. It did have some stupidness 2 it but there was sense involved in it.. I would just like to say all in all i thought it was a pretty good movie and people need to give it a chance because it is not a BAD! movie.. And also i think people now a days are just 2 focused on all the special effects of todays generation we need to get past all that and recognize a good movie cause when it all comes down 2 it this movie is it shows some of the basic everyday situations that we all experience and thats what's important in my opinion........(Have a nice day)
This a very smart sports comedy that brings in American obsessions, the Malibu class system, racism, sexism and celebrity culture-- but would you expect less from Albert S. Ruddy, who co-wrote the script with "Tabloid Baby" author Burt Kearns and Malibu celebrity Brett Hudson?Ruddy has two Best Picture Oscars-- for The Godfather and Million Dollar Baby-- and in fact, this is the follow-up to his latest Oscar!Great care has obviously gone into Burt Reynolds' first starring role in years. The character of Billy Cole is an extension of Paul Crew from The Longest Yard (another Ruddy production), and the rascal of Cannonball Run (Ruddy again!). Reynolds lives this part, and he interacts well with a huge ensemble cast of young hot talent.Gabrielle Reece is a wonder! An Amazon beauty with great comic timing. Angie Everhart gives it her all as a stripper who's seen it all-- until she sees Billy's latest idea. And Paul Rodriguez plays a phony "Chinaman" because "In Malibu, if you're Mexican, you're a gardener, but if you're Asian, you're a landscape artist." They will be writing college dissertations on this one.There's a lot to this movie-- and Gary Busey, too! And it starts with a script that almost directs itself. This one goes on the cool sports movie shelf, next to North Dallas Forty, Hooisers, Bull Durham and Blue Crush!
