5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Entertaining, November 12, 2006

By	goosefish (Durham, NC USA) - See all my reviews

There were a lot of humorous surprises in this movie. For starters, James Garner lives with his mother and is a nerdy weather buff! Then there's Kim Novak, who takes to the role of a seductress with aplomb, only a minute after she arrives for what she thought was an apartment inspection. The 1950s-style paternalism all the men dish out to Novak in spite of their lurid extramarital fantasies is downright charming. I give this movie two thumbs up, and am sure you will too.

5.0 out of 5 stars It beats the 11:35, May 10, 2000

By	bernie "xyzzy" (Arlington, Texas) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (COMMUNITY FORUM 04)

Fred, Doug, George, and Howie (James Garner, Howard Duff, Tony Randall, and Howard Morris) Share the commuter train daily to and from work. On Wednesdays they spend the night at Slattery's bar, away from home and family, until the 11:35 commuter train. Fred's boss spends Wednesday nights out in his "home away from home."

One day Howie confiscates a copy of Playmate magazine from his son's lunch box. This gives the commuters an idea.

Kim Novak (Cathy) is a sociologist who finds a perfect setup for applied research. Now before you cover your kid's eyes, it is not that type of movie. In fact, every time a juicy story starts, some train comes by and all we get is the punch line. It must be an educational movie as the husbands tell their wives that they signed up for classes at "The new School for Social Research." I looked it up and the school is real. One class is "creative accounting"

Be sure to look at the cast list. It is fun to try to remember other movies that they were in.

3.0 out of 5 stars An Enjoyable Comedy Starring James Garner & Kim Novak, September 26, 2005

By	Charthead (Iowa) - See all my reviews

"Boys' Night Out" is a good but not great comedy starring James Garner & Kim Novak (along with a strong supporting cast). The premise of the movie is a bit disturbing (if you don't find adultery funny, anyway), but the plot plays out like an episode of "Three's Company" with things not being as they seem.
