Modern Classic, 1 August 2003
10/10
Author: RNMorton from West Chester, Pa

One of the few true modern comedy classics, with Keaton and Garr switching roles after Keaton's lay-off. Story flows seamlessly through the ups and downs of Keaton's days of leisure. Keaton has never been better, particularly in his interplay with the neighborhood moms, and Garr is radiant as always. Beware of Family Channel showings, with more ads than movie.
