5/5 The Original = Really Great Movie!!
  by Silly Nilly (In Front Of My Computer)
This movie is excellent and wickedly funny. A very well done comedy, it is funny on several different levels as well. I recommend it to anyone. The newer remake is horrible compared to this one, different movie all together.

5/5 "Serpentine Shel"
  by Joanna Marcia (Fargo, ND)
I love this movie and bought it for my dad for Christmas. For anyone who has only seen the new version, you HAVE to see the original. This is the funniest movie I own - Alan Arkin makes me almost pee my pants. Great buy!

5/5 Laugh Out Loud Funny
  by Gunslinger (St. Louis, MO United States)
I can not say enough about this movie. Alan Arkin is the consumate straight man to Peter Falk's dry and serious delivery. They are perfectly matched for this film. It is pure comedic genius. It definitely did not need a remake because this film stands the test of time. I highly recommend it...

5/5 Comedy at its Best
  by M. Luttrell (Pennsylvania)
Peter Falk and Alan Arkin are at their comedic best in this film about a CIA operative who involves his son's future father-in-law in a mission to a tropical Latin American Island Country whose dictator makes Idi Amin look like a Rhodes Scholar. This is a movie that I have watched many times over the years and will continue to do so. There are no food fights, sex grundge, profanity or nudity so I don't imagine it will appeal to the brain dead. The story line is ageless as are the actors and the humor is there for the laughing.
