One of the funniest movies ever!

This movie is hilarious! Especially Bette Midler. She is so damn funny. The story was well thought of and it was well directed and acted also. Danny DeVito was great, Bette Midler was amazing, Judge Reinhold was great, Helen Slater was funny, Anita Morris was ... Anita Morris and Bill Pullman was outrageously funny. This is so funny. And they only gave it a 6.7... I am disappointed in you voters. You should have more taste in comedy. I would give it a 7.7 on this site. It's one of my favourite comedies ever. HILARIOUS!

I agree. Let's try and get this movie's user rating into the 8 star range.

This movie was roll-on-the-floor hilarious. One of the true instant comedy classics, right up there with TOOTSIE...everything works here, a well-executed story, great set pieces and brilliant performances from Danny De Vito, Bette Midler, Judge Rheinhold, Helen Slater, Anita Morris, and Bill Pullman ("I'm Robbing You!!!"). Somebody just mentions this movie and I start giggling. One of the best!

OMG! This movie was really uberhilarious. I can't understand the voters, too. They definitely haven't seen this movie, I suppose.
In my opinion this movie is a 10.
Btw, are there any projects from Zucker,Abrahams, Zucker in prospect?

I couldn't agree more! I may be 14, but let me tell you, this is a comedy.

"I'm robbing you!!"

Ahhh, Bill Pullman, you are the love of my life, lol!

I've heard some say that King's Ransom is a remake of this. If so than I hope that this is much better than that movie.

It is funny throughout the whole film but the ending is what makes it even better.

There are about 15 funnier movies not in the top 250. like All of the other ZAZ written comedies. and the 2 hot shots movies. Not that any of those deserve a spot, but Airplane! and Naked Gun deserve a spot in the top 250.
