 | This is one of my all-time favorite comedies. Segal and Fonda are a perfect onscreen couple. They're both hysterically funny without trying too hard. Ed McMahon will never escape Johnny Carson, but he's a pretty darn good actor, too. A lot of people remember the kindly old pharmacist and the randy teenager from "Amazon Women on the Moon", but does anyone remember that it was a spoof based on this movie? It was one of the funniest scenes in movie history. Some scenes are out of date, of course, but Segal and Fonda carry the movie nonetheless - comedic talent like that is rare (sigh).
And now they're doing a remake with Tea Leoni (urp) and the obscene-faced, wayyyyyy overrated Jim Carrey?? It's criminal!!

| I've also loved this movie since I was a kid. Fonda and Segal have terrific chemistry, and their comic timing is impeccable. Sharp, witty script too. I've also been hoping to find a copy with the deleted scene at the cosmetics counter. (I seem to remember Rose Marie from the Dick Van Dyke Show being in it, and it was hilarious.) Sorry not to see it on the DVD. Funny cameos from Anne Ramsey (Throw Momma from the Train) and Dick Gautier as a crooked evangelist. All in all VERY funny. |

| I loved this movie ever since i saw it when i was a kid.
Two additional scenes were added to the broadcast television premiere on ABC. One that stands out is a scene with Jane (Fonda) getting a job behind a cosmetics counter and having to confront a very difficult obese older female customer. This was a very funny scene that seems to now be lost and Is NOT going to be included in the new DVD release.
I didn't have a VCR at the time to timecapsule this extended version, It never was again! I hoped that it would make it's way onto DVD.
Columbia why do this!!!!! that scene as I rembember it was one of the best scenes in the film and made it even more enjoying. Unhappy fan :( |

| This film is a great comedy form the latter half of the 1970's.
Jane Fonda and George Segal play well of against eachother as a husband and wife forced to face economizing and pinching their pennys after Segal loses his job. After losing welfare and unemployment benifits, they resort to crime to pay the bills!
All in all a god movie and finally worthy of the DVD treatment! |

| Charming and still funny. Sadly unknown. If you watch this alongside "Klute," you'll see how versatile Jane Fonda is.
RELEASE THE DVD! |
