Surprisingly sharp comedy.
June 19, 2003 | Rating: 4/5 -
The movie builds up a lot of good will early on, which is needed when the time comes to resolve its farcical complications.

Obviously, no new ground is being broken here, but director Ross keeps things humming in an endearingly old-fashioned way.

[A] belabored charade of mistaken identities...

Does the movie really believe anyone is as stupid as these characters? Does it care?

...a basically-entertaining comedy that's overflowing with time-specific elements...

Jul 24, 2011A classic 80s movie with Michael J. Fox at his finest. The idea of this movie is as good in execution as it seems on paper, actually probably a lot better than it looks on paper. Whether it's the odd, slightly incestuous relationships or the orchestra of sex, there's never really any dull moments in this at all. The main story is hard not to get into, mainly because it's so funny to see Michael J. Fox running around trying to be two people at once. Obviously if you hate 80s comedies this isn't something you should see because it features all the classic qualities of the decade. Featuring "Oh Yeah" by Yello no less than two times and having a soundtrack number every for minutes kind've shows you how fast paced and kooky this can get at times.Conner R Super Reviewer

Sep 06, 2010A yuppie trying to rise up to the top has his life complicated by love. This is a great 80s flick, very funny and very timely. Fox is great as usual, and so is Slater. I really like this movie, and I recommend seeing it.Aj V Super Reviewer
