Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

drazsika-716-814820 The reason why I'm writing this review is my surprise on how few criticized this weak, empty, stupid movie.Although I haven't watched too many lately, I love comedies. I'd watch Ferris Bueller's Day off, Wayne's world, Hot shots 1-2, Naked gun, Airplane!, other Leslie Nielsen movies, Kickass, parodies, etc. any day of the week and could even enjoy movies that are very far from perfect and miss plenty, like Bridesmaids.Having found this one on a "best of" list next to great movies and finding great actor Michael Caine there, it was more than embarrassing to watch the first half an hour attentively and fast forwarding the rest, stopping from time to time to give a chance at scenes.I laughed 4-5 times though. (Hence not 1 but 2 stars),I deleted the other movies of Steve Martin from my computer right after watching.My main reason for writing this review was to give hope to people who love comedies but totally disliked this movie.

linepooh123 Light hearted comedy and a real classic of feel good cinema.

jeanwinchester How many of you caught that one? This script is fantastic and clever. From the beginning to the end frame, this film is pure entertainment. I love the scene at the start. (All that pushing in the bushes) Off the top of my head, I cannot think of three better actors to play these parts. As someone else mentioned, they were at the top of their games. The plot is nicely layered and it was well-lit and the sound was clear. Better than most movies nowadays. It made me laugh and Michael C looks exactly like my brother! A joy to watch and a great way to spend an evening. Oh, and those locations and music! I think you'll guess I'll give this a ten.

AaronCapenBanner Frank Oz directed this clever comedy that stars Steve Martin & Michael Caine as two con artists on the French Mediterranean Coast who continuously bump into each other, interfering with each others plans. They then decide to settle things by making a bet: the first one to make a successful con on tourist Janet Colgate(played by Glenne Headly) will be the winner, and the loser will leave the country. They still team up to fool her with various disguises and schemes, but not everything is as it seems, leading to a memorable twist ending. Both Martin and Caine give funny performances, and work well together. Viewer may be uneasy rooting for these crooks, but it all works out well in the end.
