9/10
1997
A Gore Verbinski Film
Protagonist(s): Nathan Lane, Lee Evans
Run-time: 1 hour 38 minutes
When two brothers inherit their father's estate they find that one of the houses included is a rare architectural find. The only problem is that the current occupant is not willing to let them simply take over.
This film may as well have been a Laurel & Hardy, or Abbot and Castello film, featuring one meek and one domineering character. One who comes up with plans and has the other execute them, when the plan goes wrong the first one blames the second rather than admitting the plan was feeble and weak.
The added hilarity of the main opponent being as small as a baby's fist, beefs up the already capable comedy. The effects are excellent. The plot is sound. The acting talent is excellent.
I recommend this film for any slapstick enthusiast.
