This is such a wonderful comedy!
Gregory Hines (great comedic & dramatic actor but the best tap dancer ever) & Billy Crystal (a comical genius & will go down in the 5 best comedic actors of all time) are magic together. They play off each other with such ease and smooth comedic dialogues. I've loved this movie since it first came out as I just had such a great time watching it!!! I've watched it hundreds of times and I still laugh like it's new. Highly recommend. Delivered fast and in perfect shape.

Funny, exciting movie. Underseen gem. Interesting director commentary track.
This movie should have been more popular. This Blu-ray transfer is great and I enjoyed the director's commentary track (which is the primary reason I bought this in the first place, having already purchased the film on DVD, Blu-ray, and digital in years past). Gregory Hines and Billy Crystal make a great pair in this film. Highly recommend movie.
