This movie re-teamed star Gene Wilder with director Sidney Poitier for their second and final collaboration. The two had previously made the hit comedy Stir Crazy (1980) together with Richard Pryor the latter of whom was originally going to co-star in this film. See more »
I didn't think this film was as bad as I had heard people say it was when they saw it. I love Gene Wilder and it was nice to see him working with Gilda Radner. The film isn't very well done but it has a very watchable attraction and that is watching the leads do their thing. Watch it on a rainy day and enjoy the performances of Wilder And Radner.
