Editorial Reviews: Amazon.com This weak, 1991 remake of the French comedy La Chèvre stars Danny Glover as a detective who is sent to Mexico to find a businessman's daughter (Sheila Kelley) and who gets stuck with a hapless assistant (Martin Short). The film wears out its welcome very quickly, despite some passable physical comedy from Short. Both actors have made much better movies; don't be surprised if you can't make it through to the end of this one. --Tom Keogh

Hilarious combination of talent with Danny Glover and Martin Short. Light and terribly funny. A series of mishaps, one after another, has you laughing all the way through. Excellent film. I want it in my collection but on DVD please !!! tremendous...where's the DVD? October 24, 2009 Nathan Mcconnell (San Diego, CA USA) This is one of my favorite comedies. It is a great family movie. Danny Glover plays an amazing role filled with dry humor and you can really relate with him. Martin Short is Martin Short...enough said. He was perfect. I want my DVD! October 7, 2009 Nancy Schielmann (Seattle, WA United States) Why is this movie not on DVD? My VHS copy is rapidly wearing out, and everyone I've recommended it to must borrow mine, since it's not available in another format. They all love it, and claim they've never laughed so hard. A clumsy heiress disappears, and in a last-ditch attempt to recover his daughter, the distraught father is convinced that the best way to find her is to send someone just as accident-prone to her last-known location. The exasperated detective on the case (Danny Glover) is packed off with the chosen stooge (Martin Short), and the ultimate odd couple endure a series of hilarious mishaps as they literally stumble along the path of their quarry. Slapstick that works! It skips a lot of the clichés, isn't too obvious, and is largely situational - if anything can go wrong, it will. Martin is a naive hothead who delivers physical comedy with style, and Glover is a hard-boiled P.I.-cum-babysitter who just can't believe this is all happening to him. Comedic Genius. September 27, 2009 David Gabriel Coppinger (Oklahoma City) I'm sitting here at my desk flabbergasted. I had lunch with a co-worker this afternoon and when I began sprinkling salt onto my dish the cap fell off. I was immediately reminded of one of my many favorite scenes of this movie. It had been years since the last time I saw it, and after setting up the scene and describing it to my co-worker, she was laughing hysterically. I kept telling her "yeah, it's great writing - but you have to SEE Martin Short eating that salt while trying to pretend that it's no big deal. HILARIOUS!" I jotted down a note to purchase the DVD version on Amazon tonight. So I logged in to my account for the first time in months, (I've missed you, Amazon) and now I'm flabbergasted. WHAT?!? This movie isn't on DVD?!?!?!? Are you effing KIDDING me?! This is one of the funniest films of Martin Short's career! I have spent WAY too long (it's embarrassing, really) sifting through the Hollywood BILE that makes up the Walmart DVD bargain bin. I'm utterly insulted that some of those titles were made into DVD and not this ridiculously funny movie. I guess it must have been made by a small production company or there were legal issues or something stupid. I don't know how Hollywood works, but to let a jewel like this slip through the cracks while making movies like the ones I see in the bargain bin into DVD's is a shame. A crying shame. Thank goodness I still have that old VHS tape in a box in the attic. I think I'll dig it out. Pure Luck April 26, 2009 S. R. Malipaard (Canada) When this movie comes on DVD? This is the best comedy ever!!!! There are so many bad movies on DVD. I don't understand why such a good one have to wait so long. We need to laugh so we need "Pure luck"!!!
