A good movie

Since this movie had a really good reputation, I was quite eager to check it out and I had some rather high expectations. On the other hand, after watching so many disappointing flicks starring Steve Martin, to be honest, I kind of lost faith in the guy. On top of that, I always had a hard time to care for John Hugues’s work and, after watching almost all his movies, I came up to the conclusion that this guy might be one of the most overrated directors ever . Well, fortunately, this time, I was pleasantly surprised. Indeed, I turned out to be pretty entertaining and I especially enjoyed the beginning in the conference room and the race for the taxi. Furthermore, there was some great chemistry between John Candy and Steve Martin and there were tons of good jokes along the road. Still, even though it was quite quite entertaining, I still can’t say that I was completely blown away by this movie. The main issue I had is that, pretty much like in all the other movies directed by John Hugues, in my opinion, the whole thing was actually rather shallow. Anyway, even though I don’t think it is a real masterpiece, I have to admit that it is still a very good comedy and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
