i wait a long time to finally see what i thought be go to be a fun caper flick and be shock to discover shoddy direction and awkward dialogue and a lackluster pace and unmotivated slapstick gag and an overall coarseness that permeate the film throughout . just not funny . the set look cheap and the costume by the usually excellent donfeld be garish and distract . even the title song be annoy . the whole child book character doesn not come close to represent the married couple whose life be turn upside down when he lose his job . for a film that seem to aim a dart at the unfairness of welfare and unemployment system and the filmmaker have no problem in be unfair themselves and allow hispanic and black and gay stereotype play at such a cruel level . the look of the film resemble any episode of love american style . this be not a compliment . tacky seventy fashion abound in this world of white collar theft that only lend an air of implausibility to every situation . outside of a clever initial idea and and two capable star in jane fonda and george segal and this dated exercise in social commentary come off a force and mean spirit to minority and especially to gay people . if you want a good caper film and youre good off with the hot rock with george segal and robert redford or what up doc with ryan oneal and barbra streisand . now that funny .
