A true comedy classic!!!, 28 November 1999
Author: musicman123-2 from Blue Bell, PA

Moving Violations is a definite comedy classic. This movie was very well produced in all aspects. The cast is made up of top-notch, but underrated, comedy actors and actresses that will make you remember the film for years. John Murray, like his brothers, certainly will not disappoint you. His outstanding work in this film really makes you think that he would be in more leading roles, but unfortunately he disappeared from the silver and small screens. I recommend this film to anyone who really enjoys well-produced comedy films with solid and clever plots. And Mr. Murray, if you're out there....you really should do more films!
