Saw it in the theater, hated it.
Just saw it on cable the other day. It's still awful.
Hard to believe you could make a movie with Michael J. Fox and Helen Slater and have it be pretty much unwatchable.
the movie is incredibly cliche ridden in a completly 80,s only kinda way right down to the soundtrack with those quintesential 80,s power balads full of fake emotion
its dated horribly and helen slater has always been a terrible actress
you are absolutely crazy. this was a good movie, not great but highly entertaining. this is one of my all time fav movies.
shareI love this movie, because Michael J Fox was the star - and it's actually a fun comedy.
You see, in the beginning, all was well. There was harmony. There was balance.

Then you have seen very few movies. Please check out a place called Blockbuster Video. You can rent movies from them and they just happen to have a few you may not have seen, except for the Ernest ones in the comedy section.

I gotta admit that I have always loved this movie, regardless of how one views it on a "film" scope. This movie made me want to be a NY "businessman." It wasn't until I became one that I realized how much I hate it..
I gave her my heart, she gave me a pen...
Yeah, it's pretty bad. I remember liking it when it first came out, but when I watch it now I realize how bad it actually is.
I'm happiest...in the saddle.
LOL It's decent for a 80's movie enough said but falls apart completely once they found out he's Charlton with the horrible "happy ending".

Totaly agree - it is a shocking movie - poor acting, REALLY bad continuity and the clothes WOW - but this was a film I LOVED as a 13 year old back in the 80's & watching it now takes me right back to them great days - films are not all about oscars - they are all about emotions, memories and enjoyment - so take out of this film what you will - personally - its amazing!
