This is a great movie. I enjoyed it as much now as when I saw it at the theaters. Highly recommended. John Ritter, Richard Prior and James Coco shine. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that the DVD is standard. The film (as shown by the credits) is VERY wide screen and you lose so much of the picture that it hurts some of the scenes. Please release it in widescreen!!!!!!!!!!!

Although I personally did not like the movie, it is difficult for me point out why. There are few funny scenes, and most acting is very good, At first, I thought the movies seem fragmented but the movie's segues between scene seem well written and the scenes all seemed necessary to setup other scenes in the movie. Still, it lacks something as a whole. Key parts of the movies seem predictable and it lack something that would make it worth watching.

Dudley Moore and James Coco are pleasant, often quite gifted, performers. So, too, are the assorted cameo players. The movie was pleasant, rarely funny, rarely boring. If you really do not want to cope, if you are a little down and want only a little relief without the strain of concentration, this might be for you. The gag situation are mostly predictable but have none of the reach into tasteless laughs or successful hilarity of Mel Brooks similar effort. Its a safe sort of vehicle made for actors who have all done a lot better.

This movie is hard to find. It has a very long wait on Netflix, and Blockbuster. I wanted to see it bad enough that I purchased it from Amazon.

This is one of the best movies out there today. It is an older movie, yes, but you have to know a little about old-school comedy to realize just how FUNY this movie actually is. I LOVE THIS MOVIE!

I love this DVD.
Its still as funny as the first time i seen it.
A MUST HAVE.

A classic Dudley Moore movie in a Biblical comedy. A cameo appearance from Richard Pryor.

This movie is never shown on TV and I feared I would never find a copy. I remember laughing till my sides hurt with my dad at this movie many years ago. It's slightly irreverent, and has many layers of subtle humor. A hysterical story of Moses' brother in law who always seems to get the short end of the stick. A must for any Dudley Moore fan. Dom DeLuis is a hoot!

Good Movie. The DVD version does cut out some of the scenes because of the format.

Ah...Dudley Moore at his best! To this day, my family still blurts out quotes from this movie from time to time (real funny movie)!
