    Only 15 reviews, let's keep it that way...

    It's silly, it's completely silly. Some people must have thought this was funny and I can remember I did watch it entirely in the nineties as well, but watching it now again, it hasnt aged well, to put it politely.

    I started watching it (again) for Matthew Broderick's appearance, but he simply aint suited for this kind of slapstick, silly comedies. Thankfully the movie only last 1 hour and 15 minutes...

    A barrel of fun and laughs

    An executive leaves his hometown to complete a $140M deal. Along the way he loses his wallet which contains the main ingredient for closing the deal. While trying to get the wallet back he meets every manner of opposition and zany characters. I really liked Jim & Jim and the Siskle & Ebert clones. One of the funniest comedies I ever saw. 4 stars.

    From the worst possible reviews an amazingly fun movie rises.

    This movie received a 1 star out of 5 rating (=awful) in the Radio Times but I decided to watch it none the less since it starred Matthew Broderick, looked fun and some of these 'dreadful' films are quite fun.

    Well, I loved it, perhaps because I felt sorry for this poor, put upon underdog, but my opinion was genuine, one of the most fun films I'd seen (maybe ever). Dumb and Dumber is similar in some respects but much too brash in my opinion and without the subtlety and charm and downright sense of fun of this effort.

    Don't waste your money on this movie

    I'm glad I didn't waste my money on this movie. I borrowed it from my cousin. 2 adults who are jealous of each other and don't know anything about positive conflict resolution. If I had a 13-15 year old child, I wouldn't even let him/her watch this movie. Lots of violence and jealousy in this movie. Cruelty to a cute dog. I didn't find this movie funny or entertaining. It was a waste of my time to watch this movie. There are also 2 stupid guys who get drunk everyday and don't know the difference between alive and dead. I gave it a 1/10

    Unbelievable, but very Hilarious!!

    This movie has an unbelievable plot (at least it has a plot ... I have seen way too many that have no plot) but that is what makes it so funny. Just the Jims alone make it funny. Two drunk brothers with the same first name that find a dead guy and think he is just drunk too. Definitely worth a watch at least once.

    • Trivia
      Final credited film appearance of Marian Mercer. She would however continue making appearances on television until 2000.
    • Goofs
      The bullet hole in Bill's car suddenly disappears when he and Sally arrive at the Jims' house.
    • Alternate versions
      In the theatrical version, when Bill is forced to strip, the scene ends with him taking his shirt off and begins with him walking down the street covering himself with the mailbox. But in the TV version, after he takes his shirt off, it continues until he takes his pants off, then shows a far angle of him naked and Sally driving off, then it goes to the scene with him and the mailbox. The television version differs from the home-video version, as well; most notably is a major portion missing from the actual "out on a limb" event, where Bill drops his cell phone onto a leafy branch, where it stays and then starts ringing (probably a call from his business associate to try to close "the big deal", which of course he misses because he cannot reach the phone in time); this hilarious scene adds tremendously to the overall plot, yet it is wholly absent from the home-video release.
