    This is honestly one of my all time favorite movies. A great comedy of mistaken identity.

    Yes   |   No

    It's simply a good movie. Not necessarily an Oscar winner but it's gentle, fun, innocent in its own ways, but above all it's the moment in time I remember seeing it for the first time.

    Yes   |   No

     
    Jeffrey W.

    Michael J. Fox at his finest - next to the Back to the Future series. One of my favorite all time movies, they just don't make them like this anymore. One of 2 movies that made me want to go into "business" when I grew up . . .

    Yes   |   No
