I don't get why everybody hates this! Okay, Alan Alda's character showed his true colours little too soon, but the rest of the film paid homage to your 80s-90s comic caper. Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy were terrific. And for me, this is a kind of film I would watch on Thanksgiving. It is a holiday special.

A fabulous movie. I know some would say it's stupid and empty of any sense. I say: I don't care I liked it very much and I've watched it seven times. It must be seen.
