Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Maziun This movie is nothing , but a Hollywood propaganda made against president Ronald Reagan. It's not strange , since Reagan was right-wing and Hollywood almost always has been left-wing. Anyway , you shouldn't be able to enjoy this piece of s*** unless you're some left-wing fanatic . I guess Hollywood likes propaganda ("Avatar").Ronald Reagan was one of the best , if not the best president of United States . Along with British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and Pope John Paul II he destroyed communism. How ? Thanks to economy . He bankrupted the USRR thanks to the arms race. He knew that the United States will win the race . He didn't buy or invest money in army because he was some dictator or blind fanatic (as the movie tries to suggest) , but because he was a visionary who knew that victory will come with time.Putting aside political beliefs , this movie is just terribly bad. It tries to be a black comedy , but there isn't a single good joke here . There is nice shot of Sigourney Weaver's long sexy legs . And the actor who plays the guy waiting impatiently for phone is good. It's sad to see Chevy Chase and Sigourney Weaver in this mess . Thankfully , the movie didn't destroyed their careers (It's REALLY so bad , believe me) . Weaver soon made "Ghostbusters " and "Aliens" , while Chase triumphed with "Fletch".If you're looking for good anti-war comedy better watch "Dr. Strangelove" . If you're looking for good 80's anti-war comedy you should watch "Spies like us" with Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd . I give this 1/10.

fedor8 This left-wing comedy is so very boring that it doesn't even have the strength to properly annoy me. Its support for Communist rebels and its disdain for Reagan and everything that he stood for is just so idiotic and trite. Weaver is her usual uncharismatic self, and Chase has never been this unfunny. But there's hardly anybody who'd have been funny with this script. It amazes me that someone actually went through the last draft of the script and actually thought "yeah, this one will be good; let's spend some millions and make a helluva picture!". If you are interested in reading my phony biographies of Weaver and other Hollywood morons, contact me by e-mail.

chrisp-29 Deal of the Century is for those with an appreciation of the absurd. A dry, dark comedy, and an ironic portrayal of 1980s American (Reaganite) values. The film is a humorous, critical portrait of the hypocrisy behind Ronald Reagan's deadly cold war shenanigans. Its a political comedy -- very well directed by William Friedkin (The French Connection, The Exorcist). It is also well performed and photographed. Chevy Chase is perfectly cast as a cynical arms dealer. And the late, great, Gregory Hines, as his partner, disenchanted with the arms business and suddenly filled with pathos, desperately and hilariously turns from heavy-weapons to Jesus. It is not a perfectly plotted or written film, but it strives to intelligently portray its era.

Squonk Sit in a hard chair if you intend on staying awake through all of Deal of the Century. This movie is just plain boring. It deals with Chase, Weaver, and Hines trying to sell a bunch of pilotless planes to a dictator who looks like Saddam Hussein's chipper twin. There are a few funny lines. Overall you'll just wonder what on earth is going on but won't care enough to rewind and try to find out. Wallace Shawn is the only bright spot in this mess, but he's eliminated quickly.
