| Review: | Two life-long and most unlucky friends go to the Everglades on vacation. Alas, everything goes awry after a thief steals their car. A complete waste of the stars’ talent as the film seems made up of rejected scenes from other buddy movies. A lot of dialogue was crammed into an hour and 35 minutes. None of it amusing. Disjointed and devoid of humor. What a shame. Finally a "clean" film, but not worth wasting good popcorn on. The final insult for this reviewer-it was not screened for the press. I had to spend my money for a matinee ticket! |
| Video Alt. | THE HONEYMOONERS TV series staring Jackie Gleason and Art Carney is now on video. The Great One and his sidekick remind us how funny and instructive Born Losers can be. I'’ betting the producers of Gone Fishin’ never viewed a single episode! |
