michael j. fox and ed begley and jr and the legendary kirk douglas be all likable performer no question about it . too bad theyre stick play totally despicable and unlikable character in this movie . after be introduce to one greedy and scheme relative after another for the zillionth time and we get it . the love of money be evil duh . even those character the audience be suppose to think be likable ( fox too loyal girlfriend and principled hippie dad ) fail to be . the girlfriend keep threaten to leave fox if he doesn not walk away from this mess again and again . after the zillionth empty threat instead of think he risk lose a good girl ( like the script would want u to believe ) and i get the idea she be just a unprincipled and manipulative a the rest a she definitely stay to the end . oh and and his dad be portray too much like a utopian hippy to be believable . i do urge everyone who have the chance to watch the opening credit for the late jimmy durante to sing his signature song of inka dinka dinka doo . durante definitely steal the show because he be the only vaguely likable character in this whole movie . yeah and fox do a good imitation of durante but be it worth go through the rest of the movie to see . i think not .
