| Common Sense MediaBrian CostelloCampy Don Knotts comedy with some juvenile humor. |
| User ReviewPrivate UAnother Knotts comedy where Knotts does what Knotts knows best: freaking out about everything. Now I always half expect to find a giant computer bank inside of coffins. |
| User ReviewLila WDon Knotts is his usual self in this one and it's great. |
| User ReviewKevin TVery scary. Really prescient when you think about the corruption that has brought the world to it knees recently. Don Knotts is like Obama in a way, fumbling through the ashes left to him by Bush, (the town council). They kind of have a similar physical appearance as well...I also really dig the hot green chick from Star Trek. Not much swearing...that's good for religious folks I guess... |
| User ReviewBrian BA great Saturday afternoon matinee for the whole family. If only the politicians in real life were like the ones in this movie, the world would be much simpler. |
| User ReviewEric M"How to Frame a Figg" is an inept comedy on almost every level. A childish, inert script (the only one I've ever heard repeatedly use the word "poophead") that never goes far enough in its absurdity to be truly hilarious. The pacing is horrendously bad, and set pieces and gags are unoriginal and predictable. Don Knotts has good chemistry with his romantic interest in the film, and the two are appealing leads who manage a couple of laughs here and there, but it's not even close to enough to save a lifeless screenplay. |
