2hotFeature one of my absolute favorites!

Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

SnoopyStyle CIA Agent Pillbox (John Ritter) is killed before he is scheduled to meet space aliens. Nick Pirandello (James Belushi) is a hard-charging super-agent. He is assigned to recruit doppleganger mild-mannered family man Bob Wilson (John Ritter) for the meeting. It's to save the planet from a chemical released by the military in exchange for a glass of water. The Russians are trying to stop them. Others in their agency want a Big Gun which could destroy a planet to use against the Russians.This is a strange little attempt at a spy action spoof. It doesn't really start out that way although Belushi as a super-agent could be taken that way. The strange concepts keep building up. It's not terribly funny but it is weirdly interesting. It does have Ritter and Belushi. Dennis Feldman doesn't seem to be that funny in his output. He's certainly not known as a director. This strange idea could work especially with these two comedic actors if the script is much funnier.

Predrag This is a very very funny film that has gone by almost unnoticed. The plot is simple, all life on earth will be dead in a few years if Jim Belushi cannot get John Ritter, a milquetoast, that he has it in him to save the world. Simple. Along the way you meet a rogue CIA group dressed as clowns, aliens from another world who want a glass of water and the KGB. I say this all matter of factly because that is exactly the attitude that Jim Belushi's character does. He's seen it all before and the hilarity comes when you take someone who has never had an exciting experience in this life (Ritter) and team him with someone that has had so many crazy and wild adventures that even saving the world is mundane. This is a great satire on our national security.John Ritter is one of the greatest comedic actors of all time and Belushi is in top form as well. A perfect cast all around. What's really fun about this movie is how the characters change. John Ritter starts off a wimp and turns into a tough guy just as Belushi changes from tough guy into a wimp! The cultural references to the time period are well placed (Cold War Era) and most importantly, the movie is unique and original. The laughs are abundant.Overall rating: 7 out of 10.

Maury Markowitz How bad is this movie?When it appeared in the video stores only a few weeks after flaming out in theatres, I remember they had a big cut-out of the duo handing from the roof of the local video store.I turned to my friend, who had seen it with me, and stated rhetorically how bad it was. He didn't remember the movie. It took several minutes of explaining the "plot" before he remembered seeing it with me.It was *that* bad. So bad that it not only erased itself from your memory as you walked out of the theatre, but put up active blocks to prevent you from remembering it, just in case.What is that bad? Everything! The acting is utterly hopeless, the action scenes poorly scripted, dumb dialog, jokes so overly-telegraphed that Mel Brooks would blush, and an absolutely moronic plot that I suspect the writers thought was oh-so-clever.Then there's a shoot-out, the end.Uggg.

roger-490 Real Men! A classic among comedies! Absurd yet undeniably compelling and original! Ritter and Belushi are a perfect coupling, combining chalk and cheese, as it were, yet it turns out to be one of the best films of the 80s! Belushi is so condescending it's almost unreal and Ritter gives a delightful performance as the paper pushing loser who discovers his inner strength yet never takes himself too seriously. The first time I saw this film I thought it was brilliant and my opinion of it has improved over repeated viewings. My favourite scene is this; A war between east and west has occurred. The streets of a small American town are littered with Russian agent's, victims of hot shot CIA agent Nick Pirandello and his trusty sidekick, Bob the man with the dangerous index finger. Gunfire echoes around the house where nick and bob shelter themselves from the remaining Russian's bullets. Suddenly, all goes quiet. Bob turns to nick and asks "What's going on?" Nick looks at his watch and says "Coffee break!" It would seem the Russian's relentless pursuit of the alien rendezvous map was to take a temporary back seat in favour of their hard earned worker's rights! This is but one scene from the film, which is replete with funny bits. I was sad to hear of the passing of John Ritter. God rest him.
