Granted in 1989 there were not too many advances in special effects and the movie was indeed low budget, but there was always the underlining humor throughout the entire movie. Numberous funny one liners were delivered by John Larroquette were done so with just the right attitude and degree of seriousness to make the line that much funnier. I disagree with everyone who says that the movie was borish and unfunny, you must look deeper into the lines delivered then just the surface humor and slapstick. This movie to this day remains one of my all time favorites. If they ever released it on DVD I would be first in line to buy a copy.
Oh my goodness this is a terrible film that feels long even though it is not (83 minutes). Television stars John Larroquette ("Night Court") and Bronson Pinchot ("Perfect Strangers") prove that they cannot handle anything that lasts longer than 30 minutes. They also have trouble with a dreadful screenplay and non-existent direction. The film deals with two detectives who use a mystic to solve a crime. Do yourself a favor and avoid this one at all costs. Turkey (0 out of 5 stars).
Next to almost "Ishtar", "Second Sight" is a pretty bad comedy >flick. Thing is, I enjoyed it! John Larroquette and Bronson Pinchot did a pretty funny job portraying psychic detectives. It's worth watching if you are a fan of the tow stars' TV sitcom
I do love campy films. This one is surely just that. The humor is simple, it would best accompany the mood at sleep time or a while zoning after a long day of work.
There are plenty of films out there that should come first, but if you are looking for something light, you might enjoy it. It's more entertaining than a lot of the television programs out there so it can't hurt to watch this instead. What amazed me the most is the sense there was a decent budget to this (the airplane scene surely took some money).
I didn't expect to like this at all, but since I wrote a song which shares the same title, I had to see it. Any fans of Stuart Pankin should be happy that he is a main character for once in this film.

This frantic comedy suffers from Pinchot's annoying performance as the psychic - especially when he gets spastic. Larroqutte, playing it mostly straight, comes off better. The movie gets very silly at times, but at least it never stops moving. Certainly it's not deserving of such a low "average rating" on this site (at this time, 2.9). Something closer to a "5" would be more appropriate.
