Dan Aykroyd was pretty good as well.ย Furthermore, I really enjoyed how they handled the stock-exchange making it all look like ruthless, worthless and also quite ridiculous. St... read more

A perfectly crafted movie. There isn't a scene or a line of dialogue unneeded.

That people rate it 6.9 on Listal reveals that few know what real move making is all about.

This movie is a 10 and anyone who knows movie making knows it is. Why do you think it plays heavy rotation on TV screens to this day?

Pros and Cons of Films: Vol. 1 (121 movies items)

"Pros: Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd Jamie Lee Curtis Itโ€™s arguably, one of the most hilariously funny films, of all time. Ralph Bellamy and Don Ameche as the Dukes. One of my favourite Christmas themed films. Con: Some of the humour, does feel very much of its time, and could be questionable for some. "
