3.0 out of 5 stars It's not Whoopi's best, but it's still quite funny, January 6, 2003

By 

William (Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Burglar (DVD)

I remember when this movie came out - on the tail of "Jumpin' Jack Flash". People expected it to be as good as that, because Whoopi was the flavour of the month. It was a disappointment in some ways, yet contained some hilarious moments. Scenes include the female policewoman falling backwards after attempting to kick in Whoopi's front door. The best scene is when Whoopi, disguised as a home maid, breaks into the rich man's home and steals his goodies - and nearly gets caught.
DVD EVALUATION: Warner have released this in Full Frame which is a disappointment. A Widescreen version is, of course, preferred by DVD fanatics! Sound is 2.0 Dolby Digital. No special features are included on the disc.

4.0 out of 5 stars Distracting Fun, December 8, 2001

This review is from: Burglar (DVD)

While I agree that this is not Whoopi's best movie, it is blithe comic fun that's good for two hours or so of pleasant distraction. Whoopi's irreverent character, Bernie, is a reformed thief forced to do one last job to pay off a blackmailing cop. Along for the ride is the divine Lesley Ann Warren as a nutty dentist, Anne DeSalvo and John Goodman as two bumbling cops always a step behind, and Bobcat Goldthwait in what is probably his only tolerable performance.

Tons of profanity, absurd plot twists, and an easily-descerned plot make for a fun farce that is guaranteed to make you laugh.
