An average movie

Honestly, it has been a while since I have seen this flick but when I was a kid, I thought it was pretty cool. Sure, it was nothing really amazing and the concept was actually quite moronic (like most comedies) but I thought it was still quite entertaining and it was at the time a massive box-office success. Furthermore, you have to admit that Arnold Schwarzenegger had some balls to play for the first time in a comedy and even though many other action stars followed his footsteps (Sylvester Stallone, Dwayne Johnson, Vin Diesel,...), he is actually the only one who managed to deliver a comedy which was at least watchable (I don’t count Bruce Willis because the guy was first a comic actor before turning to action stuff). Anyway, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito made an unexpected couple and most of the jokes were quite funny. 6 years, Schwarzenegger, DeVito and Reitman would work together again making ‘Junior’ but it would be a massive critical and commercial flop. Anyway, to conclude, even though it was no masterpiece whatsoever, I still think it is decent comedy and I think it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
