Diagonaldi Very well executed

Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Shopaholic35 How this movie does not rate higher on IMDb I will never know. This is a classic 90's antic comedy that showcases Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn's talents perfectly. This movie was made for them and honestly I miss movies like this. It's hard to replicate this kind of comedy nowadays as it usually comes off as try hard or ridiculously sad.The plot line may be completely wacky but it is entertaining and your left with that happy fulfilled feeling when you get to the end. Although completely predicable, even during the first viewing, I can easily watch this movie multiple times even if I always know how it is going to end. So please don't be deterred by the mediocre rating because it's a great movie.

SnoopyStyle Architect Newton Davis (Steve Martin) built his dream house and proposes to Becky Metcalf (Dana Delany). The only problem is she says No. After an one night stand with waitress Gwen Phillips (Goldie Hawn), she cons her way into the empty dream house, and into the hearts of the town folks including Becky and Davis' parents. When Davis comes back to the house and finds Gwen, Davis is surprised that Becky now looks at him with a better light. So Davis agrees to continue with Gwen's deceptions if she would follow his scheme to get Becky back.It's just not that funny. Goldie Hawn may have been good for the role 10 years earlier. She would make all the lying cute. But it's just mostly sad and distasteful. I hate to say it, but she's too old to play the Manic Pixie Dream Girl. The scheming has some legs and is kinda cute, but it's hard to root for it. Dana Delany does a nice good girl and has one funny moment with Steve Martin. But it's just too little to make a difference.

schuster_mark It's truly refreshing to see an intelligent movie with so much crap coming out of Hollywood these days. The fact that this was released in 1992 does not say much about what Hollywood has produced since.I've always loved Steve Martin. I think he's one of the most underrated actors in the past 30yrs. Sure he's not been in a million pictures, but the old adage sticks; quality, not quantity. Goldie Hawn is one of the most honest and lovely actresses to grace the silver screen. This movie would pale in comparison if these two actors were not involved. They deliver the goods in more ways than one.Beyond Martin and Hawn, this picture is special for it's writing. Mark Stein should be patted on the back and then some. Wow, is all I have to say. You can tell how much thought was put into every scene by the "believable" detail that's generously provided throughout the entire movie. The intricate interplay and "make believe" between Martin and Hawn is nothing short of genius.Feel good movie? Check. Intelligent, funny? Check. Worth a watch? Absolutely!

TBJCSKCNRRQTreviews The genre of romantic comedy is one that has long since settled into a rut that is comfortable for faithful viewers and film-makers alike... the symbiosis of the former group making it worthwhile for the latter to spend millions is thus kept intact, leaving us with only one place to expect anything fresh, any spark of originality from, as far as these films go: The overall and specific ideas behind individual ones. I can't think of another movie that has the same as this one. The plot is interesting and develops nicely throughout, with genuine surprises along the way. This is sporadically funny, although several occurrences are downright hilarious. The writing varies, and a lot of the material, and that goes for jokes, gags and the script in general, come off as if they were mainly going for just exactly being above the minimum required. "able". The caricatures that inhabit this are paper-thin stereotypes that keep playing the one note they've been provided, until(and after) their poor, punished instruments break. The acting is fine, but every single famous person in the cast has done better elsewhere. There's no violence, mild sensuality, and language is reasonable in both amount and tone. I recommend this to the biggest fans of Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn. 6/10
