1. Quality

2. Summary

   OK 2.5

   Remembering this movie as a laugh riot, I was really let down recently watching it again. Still madcap, as I recalled from 1979, it just doesn’t deliver the LOLs.

4. Acting

   Good 3.0

   Alan Arkin and Peter Faulk as the comic leads, who could ask for anything better?

5. Male Stars Great 4.0

6. Female Stars Very Good 3.5

7. Female Costars Good 3.0

8. Male Costars Good 3.0

    Barely OK 2.0

    Comedies live or die based on set-ups, delivery situations and laugh lines. None of those have aged well here.
