This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

This is the absolute funniest movie Martin Short has ever made (to date)! Hilarious from beginning to end! (BTW, Martin Short plays the funniest priest in the history of film besides the funniest child character ever!) Charles Grodin is perfect as Clifford's poor frustrated uncle! Dabney Coleman as Charles Groden's boss is ever-so creepy and plays the part to the hilt! And this is our fave movie with Mary Steenbergen - she is sweet, as always, but allowed to be funny, too. The writing, directing, editing, clever photography (to make Clifford/Martin Short look small) is 100% pure genius! We've watched this movie over and over and over through the years and cannot rate it high enough! The dialog is more-than hilarious and we quote lines from this film all the time. If you have a sense of humor and like to laugh, this movie is a MUST SEE! 100% GENIUS!! Martin Short is a comic genius!!!

I love Clifford. It's always been one of my favorite comedies. If you don't understand this type of humor, well, I feel sorry for you. I do get it. My sister and I passed our love for this movie to my kids and they love it too. How can people say that Martin Short isn't a ten year old boy?? Duh, he's not! It's a character!!! I guess Mark Hamill isn't a Jedi...or Anthony Hopkins isn't a cannibalistic killer. It's a character, and a damn funny one at that! I feel so strongly about this; that this is the first review I've ever posted on here. I found out that is has to be ten lines or more, so I'm just filling space now.

I saw this on cable last night. I'd never heard of it before. Boy! have I been missing out. The idea of a 45 year old man playing a 10 year old boy sounds odd but somehow it works. Martin Short is fantastic in this although I don't really care for anything else he has done.There is this one scene that I just love. Mary Steenbergen is berating Charles Grodin for not liking children.Charles Grodin protests that "I love kids. As a matter of fact I have a nephew I'm very fond of". She asks him his nephew's name and he responds: "His name is Mason"!There are dozens of 'S' hot lines like this throughout the movie. Rent it, get some pop-corn and some fudge, sit back and enjoy. I know I did!
