This movie was a wonderful look into Michael Douglas's acting talent.
The show was wonderfully crafted and funny and poingant . Everyone in that show fit like a glove. It is a shame it didnt do well . I watch it a lot and still laugh about the dead dog..
I think the problem was the marketing and promo at the time, also the title. It came out at the same time as other good movies, and this one was not advertised much. ALso, the title is somewhat misleading and at the time, people expected it to be something else.
Gosh, what a desperate trailer. It just screams: "hey, folks, you ignored this film upon its original theatrical run, but it's really really funny and good - just listen to all these quotes from favorable reviews. Please come see it! Pretty please with sugar on top!" Even the re-release poster has a desperate ring to it, with all the cast members smiling like it's some cheery, good old fashioned comedy. I love the film, but it's not for everyone and shouldn't have been marketed as such.
i asked myself why this movie failed at the box office but forgot we live in a country where paul barlt mall cop comes in number one so that answes it. americans are stupid

I LOVE this movie. It was one of my favorites when it first came out, and still is now. I always wondered why it didn't do better with audiences.
