Summary: Mediocrity of a movie
Review: This film has a weak storyline of two men who become security guards due to several unfortunate circumstances. John Candy's humor and Meg Ryan's fresh face and style could not pull this movie from the "abyss of bad scripts". The direction also had a hand in making this cheesy film. I did however see a cameo appearance of the Brutally muscular Teagan Clive. At about 220 lbs of all muscle she was sexy to watch. She looks like she can curl a Toyota.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: DON'T LISTEN TO THE CRITICS
Review: This movie plays like a long Saturday Night Live skit more than anything else, which is why people complain so much about the script, but it's pretty good actually, it made me laugh plenty of times. You have to remember it's a wry John Candy movie, not Lethal Weapon 4 or something. Plus Meg Ryan is in the movie-- which is always a plus.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Sometimes Clever Comedy but John Candy`s Classic.
Review: When an Honest Cop (John Candy) was framed for stealing and Ex-Lawyer (Eugene Levy), they become together Private Security Guards but when a Conspiracy that is happining at the Private Security Guards. The Ex-Cop and the Ex-Lawyer are going to solve the case together, if they like it or not.

Directed by Mark L. Lester (Class of 1984 and 1999, Commando) shows a great fun of Comedy and Action. Candy and Levy are great together, the supporting cast are:Robert Loggia, Kenneth McMillian, Meg Ryan, Jonathan Banks, Brion James and Steve Ralisback (In a Cameo). DVD has an sharp anamorphic Widescreen (1.85:1) transfer (also in Pan & Scan) with the Original:Dolby Stereo 2.0 Surround Sound. This was a box office disappointment in 1986 but it does way better on Video. John Candy and Brion James died years later after this fun. This is a fun cop comedy. Grade:A-.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great comedy
Review: Wonderful movie. Will keep you laughing. I doubt this movie was meant to be a great "story", but it sure is a great comedy.
