ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Andy Fox Anyone that does not like this movie is a snob with no sense of humor. For example, the art-deco neighbors to the Griswolds in Christmas Vacation, they probably wouldn't like this movie, it would be far too unsophisticated. Mike Myers character, Dieter, from the Saturday Night Live skit "Sprockets, he wouldn't like this movie either. I say, "lighten up Francis", to borrow a phrase from Stripes. Enjoy it for what it is. Sometimes it is enjoyable to eat something from a four- star restaurant, sometimes it is enjoyable to chew on a piece of bubblegum. The cast is all-star from the 70s and there are many funny moments. Political correctness adherents, steer clear, you won't like this movie. Get a life, by the way, PC dorks.
liamforeman This film is such a turkey. I hoped that with all the star power that SOMETHING good would have to come of it. I wasn't expecting high art, and I like gag-centered comedy, but I don't think I laughed even ONCE. It was one bad attempt at a joke or physical comedy after another. I did make it through to the end, but wish I didn't. I just couldn't believe how awful this was, since so many reviews here are so good. Funniest movie ever? God, that's depressing.I'd stay away from this at all costs. Midnight Madness is infinitely funnier. This was just an awful experience. Leachman and Mulligan were barely 'decent' and almost got me to crack a slight hopeful smirk, but nope. The acting is totally overdone, and it seemed like every scene was one team after another screaming as loud as they could. I am not sure who would find this an enjoyable hour and a half. It was just awful. 1/10
ozthegreatat42330 A poor man's "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World," This is a laugh riot of a film with many of the comedy stars of the 70s.The Plot: Millionaire Milton Parker (Milton Bradley/ Parker Brothers) owner of a game manufacturing empire, expires, leave a sum of 200 million dollars to be awarded to the person or persons who can score the most points in a five hour scavenger hunt. The people to be included are his hated sister and her obnoxious son, her neglected step daughter; parker's inept son-in-law and his three kids. Two other cousins who are brothers, the family servants, and an idiotic taxi driver, who helped him keep his fortune by making his partner miss a vital business meeting. With various allies picked up along the way, the wacky crew spreads out seeking to follow the riddles to find the objects in question.Starring Vincent Price, Robert Morley, Richard Benjamin, Cloris Leachman, Cleavon Little, Roddy McDowell and James Coco, among a cast of many more well known names (including a very young Arnold Schwartzenegger as the operator of a gym) The mayhem is soon at hand. Another star of the film is the city of San Diego, which is the background for much of the goings on. I can't say enough about how well this film holds up even after a score of viewings. Almost as much fun as taking part yourself.
alexshelli2 I don't know what the rest of you think, but if you grew up in the 70's and early eighties you'll love this movie!!! Don't listen to the idiots who don't know COMEDY!!! IT IS FUNNY!!!

There are so many funny parts in this movie I can't type all night to mention! BUY IT! You'll love it. IT IS JUST FOR ENTERTAINMENT!! This isn't Gladiator!!! It is supposed to be silly, it's a comedy, STUPID!!!:-)
