A feel-good comedy with an all-star cast!, 26 June 2002
Author: Randy H. Farb (rhfarb@yahoo.com) from United States

This wonderful movie used to be shown several times as filler for networks who needed to show something when the World Series ended too soon. Gene Wilder and Bob Newhart are actually reversals in this film; Gene is the calm family type, and Bob is the hyper-kinetic salesman. The film also takes a stab at television, long before "Network." It's a winner.
