at the time of it release and i think this might be steve martin best work . he do so many good thing that i wouldn not say what his best anymore but he be very good in here . his italian hoodlum accent be funny and the unique character he play and vinnie antonelli be very entertaining to see and hear . this isn not a laugh out loud type of comedy but a pleasant one all the way through with good subtle humor . the first half of the story be much good than the second half . it get corny a it go on . martin support cast rick moranis and joan cusack do not quite cut it a an fbi man and district attorney and respectively and be ridiculous clown type character but and hey and this isn not suppose to be take seriously . moranis barney coppersmith be stupid but likable and cusack hannah stubbs be overly silly . the language be very tame and especially for a pg 13 film . it just a nice lighthearted comedy and worth a look or two . i saw it three time and by then and that be enough . the dvd version i saw wasn not a whole lot well than the tape with poor surround sound and a so so transfer .
