| Kalamazoo GazetteJames SanfordNot at all -- it's pure, forgettable formulaic sitcom |
| User ReviewSanford RIts just an average comedy to me. I probably wouldn't watch it again. |
| User ReviewAdam ROne of the earliest Touchstone movies does not seem to have aged well, but it wasn't bad. An OK comedy with some funny moments from Judge Reinhold. (First and only viewing - 12/6/2009) |
| User ReviewBrad WOK time waster. Also see Hero At Large for similar effect. |
| User ReviewRosco BHere's a forgettable one for ya. If anyone gets too nostalgic for the eighties, you can always have them watch this for an easy cure. Great cast though. |
| User ReviewJames MA pleasant comedy with good intentions, not particularly memorable though. Whatever happened to Judge Reinhold?? |
