5.0 out of 5 stars Top-notch zany comedy, April 21, 2006

By 

Bomojaz (South Central PA, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Finders Keepers [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is a terrific screwball comedy that barrels along like a non-stop runaway train - which happens to be the setting throughout much of the movie. Michael O'Keefe inadvertently gets involved in a robbery when he himself is trying to escape from the feminine clutches of a roller derby team he owns; the money from the robbery is hidden in a coffin that's being transported across country by train. One complication leads to another, too many to describe here. But what makes the movie so much better than many of its type is that all the crazy parts (and there are many) fit perfectly together. There's some poking fun at Hollywood, Richard Nixon, small-town politics, etc., but it's not at all heavy-handed. It's a well done, well thought out and executed light comedy. Perhaps the best character in the movie is David Wayne as the oldest train conductor in the world. Hilarious!

4.0 out of 5 stars Dated but very funy movie, October 29, 2000

By 

TL (Zionsville, PA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Finders Keepers [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This movie should be on a "must have" list for anyone who loves movies like Hollywood Knights, Blazing Saddles (or most of Mel Brooks stuff), etc.

While it is very dated it has great perfomances by Beverly D'Angello and Jim Carey.

What crazy goings-on!

Although it's not one I'd buy for myself, my neighbor remembered this movie as one of his favorites, but he wasn't able to find it in any video store. I went to Amazon, easily located a copy, and surprised him with it for his birthday. He was tickled pink!
