I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Louie Anderson, Richard Lewis, Richard Belzer, Tim Thomerson, Franklin Ajaye and John Goodman star in this 1988 comedy. A group of pals have a cub scout reunion and become hunted by a criminal thinking they're FBI. Louie can't stop thinking about his childhood and decides to reunite with his friends, Richard, Belz, Tim and Franklin. He talks them into having a cub scout reunion at Mount Whitehead. Soon, they're mistaken for FBI agents when a criminal, Duke (Goodman) begins hunting them. They try to explain they're not who he thinks and use their cub scout survival skills against him before he kills them. I grew up watching this film and always liked it. It's a great 80's comedy with a good cast I recommend.

I saw this movie and thought it was pretty darn funny. The plot is original and the acting is true. Richard Belzer, Richard Louis and John Goodman were great. And Louie Anderson did a great job as the cute-as-a-button momma's boy!! 3 stars!!

Bad, bad, bad. How do movies like this get made? Badly written, poorly acted; I could go on, but why bother? As an aside, note that the characters' first names are the same as the actors playing them : this is a dead giveaway that no one on the set is even interested enough in their role to bother learning someone else's characters names!
