giatime Sometimes you just have to sit back and enjoy something for the incredible richness of it's characters the story and the backdrop! NYC circa 1982. That fact in itself added to Al Pacino, Dyan Cannon and a sweet funny script make it pretty cool. This movie is hard for me to watch because I am from NYC and was a teen at the time of the release of this movie and it brings back so many awesome memories it's kind of hard to handle. Anyway I love you guys, pardon my sugary delivery but I'm in a weird mood. Watch this movie, just saw it in HD for the very first time. Ps, Al Pacino is simply the best actor of our time, no matter what the role!

leplatypus If you want to know why Pacino is my favorite one, just watch this little movie! OK, this isn't a great drama, the action is scarce, the story seems a bit forgotten, the start is low, but Paccino shines all along.As in the "Godfather" or "Carlito's Way", he is at his best when showing contradictions: he can be very confident and persuasive and in the same time, totally lost and unsure: an American "Romain Duris", my french favorite! With this split, comes his famous broken voice and his legendary angers: terrible and with a minimum of moves! Here, he is a writer but in need of recognition, a good father but a bad husband! And it happens in his town, New-York (try to count his movies outside the big apple and you've got only a handful!).And icing on the cake: First, the kids! they are funny and it would be interesting to see if they got a career! And a time-travel for 25 years! It is always a surprise to see how those 80's movies seems very old now!

pecaro0518 I love this movie because it's a true "feel-good" movie. The kids in the movie certainly steal the show, making us laugh over and over again. We can all relate to some or all of the kids as we're taken back in time to the early 80's. Their innocent insights to grown up situations, as well as their comedic delivery make for a very funny movie. Al Pacino (the author!) leads us through this movie as the caring father of this group of kids, sometimes funny, sometimes serious, but always loving, and you simply can't go wrong with Al Pacino! Alan King's dry humor adds a really nice touch to the movie. Take the time to watch this movie with your family, it'll warm all your hearts! My husband and I need to replace our worn out copy, which we never tire of watching over and over.

alpacinofan I thought the movie was great. I think Al Pacino showed most of his humanly emotions in this movie. He played the part very well!! Dyan Cannon, and Alan King also played good roles. Tuesday Weld did not have enough of a role in the movie as Gloria. She did well in her part, but I wish they would have added more of her character in the story. It would have been nice if her and Alice had gotten into a little spat. That would have spiced up the movie a bit!!! :) The children in the movie played good roles too. But I did not agree with the foul language that the kids used. I know if those were Al's real children, he would not allow them to talk to him that way!!! LOL It was more of an adult movie, than for children, because of the language, and the little scene, with Al and Dyan in bed. Even though it wasn't gross (the bed scene), it was what she had on in bed, and Al sleeping in the raw. LOL I loved the movie, and I think it is good adult entertainment. Not a violent movie, just light-hearted comedy.
