4.0 out of 5 stars Very funny, December 27, 2002

I was surprised when I saw how few reviews there were for this film. It must be a real sleeper, but boy is it a good movie. Funny, a bit serious and fun to watch.

Notle delivers a solid performance but it is Short that makes the movie shine through his brilliant comedy. There were many laugh out load scenes in this movie and it is fun to watch more than once.

Notle is an ex con going straight and Short is the straight but desperate man turning to crime. The straight man/comic routine really comes across well between these two characters. If you enjoyed "Pure Luck" with Glover as the straight man, you'll also enjoy this film. I give a strong recommendation to this movie.

4.0 out of 5 stars Though the ending was not what I was hoping for, watch it!, September 28, 1999

This review is from: Three Fugitives [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Martin Short and Nick Nolte are fantastic in this adorable film. James Earl Jones and Alan Ruck (That guy from Speed, Twister, and Ferris Bueller's Day Off) also do great jobs. Both kids and adults will love it. I searched for this movie for three months and I finally found it. Searching was no fun, but it was worth it.

This movie really surprised me the first time I saw it...there is much more depth to the story than you would think. Martin Short is very funny, Nick Nolte is great, and the little girl is adorable. I highly recommend it!
