Review of A Fine Mess (1986) by Joseph R — 27 Aug 2007
Critics everywhere panned this film. Blake Edwards himself told people to skip it, saying studio interference ruined it. One reviewer called it 1986's "most aptly-titled film", and you can guess this wasn't meant as a compliment.
However, I love this movie. The one-liners and the slapstick make me laugh. The story is so ridiculously silly it doesn't matter how many twists there are. Ted Danson and Howie Mandel work very well together, and it's a shame they never paired up again.
The editing is tight, the music is great and there really are some truly quotable moments, especially when Mandel begins using his comic voices.
Ignore the critics. This is a very funny movie worth watching.
