Maybe it's just because I like Dan Aykroyd: I have never seen a movie with him that I did not enjoy. I decided to put in a few lines of appreciation for this one, considering the bad reviews read here. It certainly is not the ultimate masterpiece of comedy but I found it thoroughly enjoyable, and despite the fact that I was very tired it kept watching it until 2am.
Penny Marshall produced this?
Harvey Miller, who wrote "Private Benjamin," wrote this?
Lemmon, Aykroyd, Hunt, and the incomparable LILY TOMLIN agreed to work on it?
Tasteless, unfunny, painful to watch.
Whatever moral point they were trying to make, and whatever humor they were trying to achieve, this film just... just hurt. Hurt my eyes, and hurt the reputations of all involved.
I'm embarrassed for all involved, and chagrined that I felt I had to watch to the end, to justify writing a review to warn others. Fifteen minutes would have been more than enough.

I found this movie not as bad as everybody says it is. I think its pretty entertaining. I really liked the plot of the film.
I bought this movie for one reason and one reason only, Bonnie Hunt. I can not believe she sank so low! Her character is the only good thing about this film, and I hate to say it, her character isn't that great! This movie was the worst thing I had ever seen! Usually Lilly Tomlin is funny, she wasn't. and I was so suprised at Jack Lemmon's character too. Why did you people make this movie? WHY?!?!?!
This Movie will forever sit on my shelf never to be watched again!

I did DVD of this only because it cost 1 EUR. I didn't expect nothing, but I got great comedy.
The plot is very good and not seen often. Dan Aykroyd is a narrator too, but doesn't make so good performance than we have used to. Jack Lemmon is too old or he act's too old. In Grumpy Old Men few ears ago he was still in shape.
This is good written feel good comedy. Harvey Miller isn't great director but he makes decent job.
I'll give 8 of 10 because it's entertaining, good written and easy to watch again.
