Über diesen Film

Emmy Award-winner Peter Falk ("Columbo," "The Princess Bride") and Academy Award-winner Alan Arkin ("Little Miss Sunshine," "Slums of Beverly Hills") are brilliantly funny in this zany comedy about a dentist and a "CIA Agent," and their riotous misadventures on the eve of their children's wedding. Written by Andrew Bergman ("Honeymoon in Vegas," "Blazing Saddles"), and co-starring Academy Award-nominee David Paymer ("Alex & Emma," "State & Main"), Ed Begley, Jr. ("The Accidental Tourist") and Nancy Dussault (TV's "Too Close for Comfort"). A runaway boxoffice hit, this film was directed by Academy Award-honoree Andrew Hiller ("Carpool," "Silver Streak").

Bewertungen und Rezensionen

Not great by any stretch of the imagination, and the plot is wafer thin. However, Arkin is probably one of the best straight man's I've seen in a comedy. Falk is okay in this movie, but I feel it's either not a great performance, or I'm not down with Falk as a leading man. But together these actors are great, riffing off each other and trying to one up each other.

A classic comedy I'd recommend when you need a good laugh. Alan Arkin and Peter Falk were simply comedy gold together. Give this one a watch! SERPENTINE!

Falk & Arkin have amazing chemistry: you can believe this happens!
