This is a typical Keaton comedy...excellent!, 20 December 1998
7/10
Author: honesty from Ontario, canada

This comedy is bound to be good from the get-go. East meets west and east doesn't want to lose...west doesn't know what losing is like. It starts a little slow but it grabs you very soon and it doesn't let go. This is definitely worth seeing.
