| Video-Reviewmaster.comSteve CrumMisfire comedy starring Dreyfuss, directed by Mazursky. |
| User ReviewThe Mighty Oz"People of Parador, I love you. I love to love you. I love your mountains... and your, heh heh, your valleys. I want to swim in your rivers. I love you." Moon Over Parador is one of my favorite movies of all time. Cold war politics, South American containment, super-fascism, guerrilla war, the CIA, Sammy Davis Jr, and a young actor clash in this comedy of dictatorial proportions. |

| User ReviewBill NA lot of acting in-jokes ("They always say that about DeNiro & Hoffman."), much better performances than you might think for a semi-parody, & frankly just cracks me up every time I watch it. Doesn't generally get the credit it deserves. Dreyfuss's work in this is easily equal to his performance in "Goodbye Girl." |
| User ReviewMike BAn all time favorite. Don't know what's wrong with the rest of y'all! |
| User Reviewmike hone of the funniest films you will ever see if you were stuck in 88, and now, its a classic, nothing compares, one of richs best films, and there are a lot of other talented actors in this, its a masterpiece, a rare gem. |
| User ReviewTroy AHave you seen it? No?? And you call yourself an actor?? Gets better with every viewing. Dreyfuss was great. |
| User ReviewAj VNo, Parador isn't a real country, but that just means that this could be any country. The story is only somewhat realistic, but it's very funny, and entertaining. I really liked it. |
| User ReviewTerrence WI loved this movie when I first saw it. The storyline today seems dated but back then, revolutionary. I would really like to see it again sometime. |
| User ReviewLeonardo - Malacay - SIts a good movie. Really enjoyed Richard Dreyfuss in this movie. |
