leplatypus In France, this is the way we title the cop comedy franchise Naked Gun ! In a way, this movie is a predecessor : sure it's not as much absurd but for a cop investigation, there is some really delirious moments, crazy characters, very funny lines ! It happens in San Francisco at the end of the 70s and for me, the time was much better than now in everything : fashion, people attitudes, homes, cars… every one could have own style and here, Hawn is a courageous working young woman and Chevy is the cool guy ! The cast is also interesting with the trainer of Rocky, already old but with a black belt and Moore as an unexpected pervert ! The finale is funny because we wonder if Chevy takes the quickest way to get to the Opera and there, it reminds me of Godfather III but just for fun ! So it was a really enjoyable little movie that proves the expertise and the happy life in 70s which is impossible to find today as movies and society gets down !

mike48128 Best watched with other Goldie Hawn performances, such as "Cactus Flower", "Seems Like Old Times", "Protocol", and "Death Becomes You". Goldie has starred in many enjoyable films over the years. You can't argue that, especially when young, she had "it" all. A photogenic face and a cute, petite, figure. Chevy Chase by comparison, is not always that funny, but his earlier movies were fun and his later "vacation" movies were as well. Sometimes a great cast makes a minor movie like this worth your time: Charles Grodin, Dudley Moore, Burgess Meredith, Billy Barty, and others. It's a spoof of the Hitchcock thriller "The Wrong Man". The plot devise, assassinating the pope, is a bit ludicrous, but not as bad as when used in that "Naked Gun" film. It's a funny movie, as long as you don't have great expectations for it. It's like the early Barbra Streisand comedies, It's homage to "Film Noir" and 1940's "screwball" comedies.

AaronCapenBanner Colin Higgens wrote and directed this comedy/thriller clearly inspired by director Alfred Hitchcock. Goldie Hawn stars as a lonely young woman who gets mixed up in espionage and murder after a man she was seeing dies, and leaves a microfilm with her which some crooks want, and will do anything to obtain. Chevy Chase plays a San Francisco detective who meets her in his investigation, and is immediately attracted, and they must team up to stop a sinister assassination plan involving the Pope. Burgess Meredith costars as a wacky neighbor of Goldie's, as does Dudley Moore as a love interest. Though a hit at the time, this film goes on too long, becoming increasingly ridiculous.

anoceanroars This is a very funny film, even though it is quite old now and most of the cast is long gone. The film belongs to Goldie Hawn. It really shows off her comedic talent as the height of her long career. The supporting cast is excellent, even Chevy Chase which i never cared for as an actor. He is now a cast member of Community, in which he does a great job. As for the film, it is the story of a young woman in the wrong place at the wrong time, and unfortunately finding herself involved in an assassination plot. She has to beware of the midgets, they are taking over the world, if you've seen it then you understand. Burgess Meredith has some of the funniest scenes. She also has to beware of an up and coming Dudley Moore, doing what he does best, while trying to keep herself from getting murdered. Will she succeed? Watch it and see. Also, the movie does run a little too long, perhaps some editing could have made it a 10. Remember this is a light-hearted comedy, so bring your popcorn, cherry coke and light heart and you will enjoy it.
