This weak, 1991 remake of the French comedy La Chèvre stars Danny Glover as a detective who is sent to Mexico to find a businessman's daughter (Sheila Kelley) and who gets stuck with a hapless assistant (Martin Short). The film wears out its welcome very quickly, despite some passable physical comedy from Short. Both actors have made much better movies; don't be surprised if you can't make it through to the end of this one. --Tom Keogh

Customer Rating: Summary: Great movie! Comment: This is a hilarious movie that is appropriate for family viewing. Martin Short is at his best. You will laugh until you have tears in your eyes. It is one of our family favorites! Customer Rating: Summary: My Favorite Comedy of All Time!!! Comment: OH MY! I've been in love with this comedy since I was 9!!! Most films I can only watch once. This is THE ONLY film I can watch over and over and over again, and laugh just as hard as the first time if not harder! One great thing about it is that it's clean good fun. Most comedies these days...you know... Just sit down and enjoy...especially on those days when you really need to exercise your abs and vocal cords. LOL! :D Customer Rating: Summary: Cult favorite in our home- for everyone Comment: This hilarious movie is what we pull out and watch annually! Just wish it would come out on DVD- our tape is wearing out and getting old. What's the deal?? I would recommend this for the whole family-over 8-10years. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Movie Comment: This is one of the funniest movies ever! If you like Martin Short, you'll love this movie. Customer Rating: Summary: Very Funny Comment: This has got to be one of the funniest movies of all time! It is one of my favorite movies and I have seen it so many times, it never gets old, always as funny as the first time. If you haven't seen it, it's a must! If you have seen it, see it again and again....
