| New York TimesVincent CanbyThe performances are attractive though, with one exception, not especially memorable. |
| User ReviewSue AIt's always on TV and is a great watch. |
| User ReviewOmy TI just like this show for some reason. Maybe because it's a piece of my childhood history. |
| User ReviewJustin DI am a huge Elliot Gould fan so I had to see this again. I remember it being a whole lot funnier when I was a kid!! |
| User ReviewJason WWorth it just for Bill Cosby being Satan. |
| User ReviewSean GTHE first movie my family ever rented. You know back in the day when you had to rent the VCR too. It came in a big bulky plastic case like a musical instrument. The kind that had the top that popped up so you had to slide the tape in and press the whole thing back down. Wow. |
| User ReviewWilliam WWith Bill Cosby's life and career in tatters these days with a myriad of past date-rape accusations against the actor/comedian, I have been intrigued to investigate both his earlier filmic oddities and the comedic albums of his stand-up routines from years gone by. This was a decent, Disney (to add a touch of irony) comedy just before he was going to hit a purple patch in his life with the mega-success of 'The Cosby Show'. I wish when I came across them in a London music store a few years back, that I had pulled the trigger and bought a pair of jazz albums he had made with Quincy Jones. I have a feeling they would have proved a lot more interesting than this was. |
| User ReviewCassie Pi thought this movie was good, but not exactly great... it definitely makes you think about what is really important in life... |
| User ReviewSandra SA splashy Disney curiosity. It's great seeing Bill Cosby as the Devil! Elliot Gould plays Max Devlin, a rotten man who is given the chance to save his own soul by finding others who are more evil. It's fun black comedy. |
| User ReviewChristopher BThe really significant part of this movie has nothing to do with the players, but the producers. This is the FIRST ever PG movie released by Disney - after almost 35 years a G-only releases. |
