A wonderfully crafted, absolutely charming remake of the 1964 film Bedtime Story.
Their comic methods are different, but from their first unequal encounter until the very last in a series of twist endings, Mr. Caine and Mr. Martin work together with an exuberant ease that's a joy to watch.
Martin, the most eloquent of physical clowns -- the Baryshnikov of comedy -- is at his most inspired here. He parodies feelings, attitudes, states of mind that one would think were exempt from it, and his caricature of dapper suavity is killingly precise.
The chemistry between Martin and Caine is fun, and Headly provides a resilient foil as a woman who looks like a pushover but somehow never seems to topple.
Martin and Caine scam women. Not for young kids.
An amusing comedy whose strengths and weaknesses both stem from the broad treatment of the material.
The surprise ending can be spotted a mile off, but it's still enormous fun getting there.
Near classic comedy of con artists on the loose with Steve Martin and Michael Caine playing off each other.
There's little enough to keep you occupied as Caine and Martin go through their comic set pieces in workaday fashion while the film moves mechanically from one contrived situation to the next.
Worthy conmen comedy with a great cast.
A great scam comedy with Martin and Caine continually trying to top each other. Hilarious from beginning to end.
