Fun Stuff

Trivia:
For the Los Angeles premiere, all guests (and some critics) paid five cents to see the movie in honor of the film and early Hollywood ticket prices. However, reaction to the picture was poor and one critic (David Sheehan, reporting for CBS News) claimed it wasn't worth paying a nickel to see. more

Big 70's flop is not nearly as bad as its reputation, 2 October 1999
7/10
Author: marc (beautyboy@aol.com) from New York NY

This expensive 70's flop is not nearly as bad as its reputation indicates. Leonard Maltin's review is pretty accurate. And it's got some fine performances by a good cast which includes- Ryan O'neal, Burt Reynolds, Tatum O neal, John Ritter, Stella Stevens and (especially) Brian Keith. Two highlights- Tatum's negotiating and Brian Keith's speech at the end. It's got some dull stretches and the slapstick gets wearying,overall not bad.
