I have seen this film many times and every time I see (part of) it on TV it still makes me laugh. The dialogue is crisp, sharp and hilarious. Combined with a great script, matching soundtrack and a top cast this makes for an absolute must see movie.
What makes this film really stand out is the way De Niro and Grodin team up. Should the film have been shot with Bruce Willis or Cher (please help me) it wouldn't have worked. Thank God Martin Brest held his foot down on this one. De Niro and Grodin are so good together that it really baffles me that Grodin didn't star in more movies.
Although it has some violence and plenty plenty of harsh language, this doesn't cloud the fact that the movie is about human emotions such as friendship, humor and fairness.
Strongly recommended!
