Featured reviews
When people think of the works of writer/director John Hughes they think of 'Breakfast Club', 'Ferris Bueller' etc, but if you look beyond that you'll find there are some real underappreciated gems, and 'Dutch' is one of them.
It's a real mix of other Hughes films - a bit 'Uncle Buck', a bit 'Planes, Trains...' and with a fair few 'Home Alone' elements thrown in too, but it amounts to a funny, often heart-warming film, that deserved/deserves better acclaim.
Well worth a watch.

I have watched this film so many time and I'm so happy that it finally came out on DVD(I actually never taught it would but thanks to "Anchor bay entertainment" it did) The trailer of the movie describe really well what the movie is about "The story of a boy who lost the child in himself and the man that helps him find it". It's my favorite movie written by John Huges and I'm a big John Huges fan. Ethan Randall/Embry plays his part really well,he was perfect for the role of Doyle,he made the transition between the angry rude Doyle of the beginning of the film to the normal 12 year old kid you see at the end looks very natural and his chemistry with Ed Oneil is fantastic.
Ed Oneil one of the most underrated actor in America just because of his Al Bundy persona.I Love Ed,I grew up watching Married with...and I have seen most of his other project,including the new yet short lived "Dragnet" TV show.That guy got style and he's ten times more talented than some of the guys you see on the big screen these days,I'm looking forward to his next project.Dutch was in my opinion his best role so far.
Well this film his a classic in my book and it has a great message to it. I'll give it a 9 out of 10.

The first time i saw this movie. I was 5 years old and i loved it. My favorite part of the movie is when Ed o'neill blows off all those fireworks. This movie is a classic. I give it ten out of ten. This movie never gets old.
Dutch is one of my favorite movies ever. it is so funny, And its always so fun to watch everytime. It never gets old. The things that Dolye and Dutch say to each other are so funny, they always make me laugh. I must say Doyle is a real brat though. Theres so many memorable things in this movie....all the great funny quotes...all of Dutch and Dolye's arguments....the fire works scene...and I really like the scene with the 2 call girl babes :)
This is a great movie that I still watch all the time. I recommend it to anyone who likes to laugh like me ( :

This movie along with Trains, Planes & Automobiles is a must watch every Thanksgiving for our family. It's one of those movies you can watch over and over and never get tired of. The actors are great and well suited to their roles. You could feel the chemistry between Dutch and Doyle and now they are together on the series Dragnet. Rent it to get the whole experience. TV cuts some good stuff.
