Détectives en délire

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).

Wills (John Larroquette) and Bobby (Bronson Pinchot) are two parts of a ghostbusters type detective agency. The third member, Dr. Preston, is there to keep Bobby under control. That's because Bobby not only channels a man from beyond named Murray, he can also predict future events. Wills is often disgusted with Bobby, for Bob is a bit uncouth and beyond weird. When a Catholic cardinal and pretty church lady are kidnapped, it is up to these three to find them. Helping them along is Sister Elizabeth (Bess Armstrong) who just happens to be Murray's ex-girlfriend! What fun! Will the quartet be able to find the missing folks in time? This is not a large budget film and the script is wandering at times. Nevertheless, viewers could do worse than spend some time with the movie. The cast is great, with Pinchot a standout as the unorthodox Bobby. Armstrong and Larroquette are also quite funny. Who would not love a scene in a car where Bobby, intrigued by the cigarette lighter, ends up playing hot potato with the other two detectives? Now, that's inspired. If you love silly nonsense, and who doesn't, rent this for a night or catch it on late night television. You will be able to make the world's problems disappear, as you chuckle your way into oblivion.

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.

I first saw this film as a 12 year old kid, and I like it to this day. It's a simple movie, gets the needed laughs, and tries to keep the lost art of slapstick. This plenty of zingers abound in the movie, and it's pretty entertaining. The frozen bullet, the plane are damn good special effects for the time (1988). Yeah, there's plot holes, but almost every movie has those. Yeah, the story is rather implausible. But it's still entertaining. The producers knew they weren't remaking Gone with the Wind, and that's fine with me. Films about about entertainment, bottom line. And that's exactly what this one does, entertains. Now if only current film directors could learn that.
