I wanted to but couldn't!
Fantastic!
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
It's not a good movie and if things like a person being able to levitate a table because he's a psychic bother you, then you might find this annoying, but it's actually a cute buddy comedy and Stuart Panking is an overly nice guy sticking up for his gifted but doesn't always fit in friend played brilliantly by Bronson Pinchot. Playing foil to the two buddies is talented John Laroquette who plays their grumpy boss.The story gets old by the end but the first hour or so of the Movie is fresh and silly and carried by the actors, Bronson especially.
This movie was not great, but okay. The special effects seem to do alright. But Bronson Pinchot as the psychic Bobby, does a serious amount of over acting thats not even funny. The way he does it, he looks like he did over a dozen takes. And Stuart Pankin's character Preston who is Bobby's care taker, is such an idiot, you were waiting for somebody to smack him upside his head. Seems it is John Larroquette is the only one who is funny as the uptight and cynical detective Wills. His funny performance saves the movie from extermination. Bess Armstrong seems to hold her own, has the nun who is helping them on the case. An alright film.
I understand that many people walked out of the theatre when watching it, and many others have given it terrible reviews. But I would have to say that I enjoyed it. Sure, it has its problems, but all in all it is a really enjoyable movie. I just can't understand how some people could give it such a bad wrap. I liked it!
Oh my goodness this is a terrible film that feels long even though it is not (83 minutes). Television stars John Larroquette ("Night Court") and Bronson Pinchot ("Perfect Strangers") prove that they cannot handle anything that lasts longer than 30 minutes. They also have trouble with a dreadful screenplay and non-existent direction. The film deals with two detectives who use a mystic to solve a crime. Do yourself a favor and avoid this one at all costs. Turkey (0 out of 5 stars).
