Summary	Burglar
Content	What did my parents used to say to me? Oh yeah, "If you can't say something nice, then don't say anything at all." I'd better not say anything at all about this movie...

Summary	Not bad for a movie that's supposed to be about a Jewish Man
Content	I don't have anything against this movie -- it's a pleasant little romp. I just remember that I was sorely disappointed when it came out because I'm a fan of the series of books that it's based on. I suppose I should say "loosely based on," because this doesn't even come close to the books. The books were written by Lawrence Block and featured an aging Jewish man named Bernie Rhodenbarr. Rumor has it that Bruce Willis bailed on the production, so it was given to Whoopi. Not a bad decision, I suppose. But not a good one, either. If you like harmless mystery/comedies from the decade of The Mullet, then you will enjoy this. By the way, the books are also available here at Amazon, so you ought to do yourself a favor and pick them up, too.

Summary	It's not Whoopi's best, but it's still quite funny
Content	I remember when this movie came out - on the tail of "Jumpin' Jack Flash". People expected it to be as good as that, because Whoopi was the flavour of the month. It was a disappointment in some ways, yet contained some hilarious moments. Scenes include the female policewoman falling backwards after attempting to kick in Whoopi's front door. The best scene is when Whoopi, disguised as a home maid, breaks into the rich man's home and steals his goodies - and nearly gets caught. DVD EVALUATION: Warner have released this in Full Frame which is a disappointment. A Widescreen version is, of course, preferred by DVD fanatics! Sound is 2.0 Dolby Digital. No special features are included on the disc.

Summary	Distracting Fun
Content	While I agree that this is not Whoopi's best movie, it is blithe comic fun that's good for two hours or so of pleasant distraction. Whoopi's irreverent character, Bernie, is a reformed thief forced to do one last job to pay off a blackmailing cop. Along for the ride is the divine Lesley Ann Warren as a nutty dentist, Anne DeSalvo and John Goodman as two bumbling cops always a step behind, and Bobcat Goldthwait in what is probably his only tolerable performance. Tons of profanity, absurd plot twists, and an easily-descerned plot make for a fun farce that is guaranteed to make you laugh.
