everything you have heard about this movie is true.
disgusting, overrated, pointless
What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Consider this cast, Michael O'Keefe, Beverly D'Angelo, David Wayne, Ed Lauter, Brian Dennehy, Lou Gossett, and Jim Carrey. You might reasonably expect a film that was at least watchable. Unfortunately that is far from the reality of this mistaken identities, supposed comedy. A few mild smiles relating to 'the worlds oldest train conductor' are about it. The rest gets weaker by the minute, leading to a chaotic ending that is far worse than the nonsense that precedes it. I cannot emphasize enough how badly the capable cast is wasted. Bizarre in a bad way, is the only description than applies to "Finders Keepers. About the only good thing about this total"train wreck" of a movie is that it actually has a train in it. - MERK
Despite a fairly well-known cast, this one never made too many waves. I recommend you give it a try, however, in the interest of having a very good time. Even more mistaken identities, boomeranging cons, and wild coincidences that you ever thought you'd see punctuate this slambang farce, but the tone is so wifty and lighthearted you never lose faith. Great lead performances by O'Keefe, Gossett, and D'Angelo are teamed with great supporting performances by Dennehy, Lauter, and an early one by Jim Carrey. The funniest one of all, however, is David Wayne as the oldest conductor in America. Do yourself a favor and see this.
I stumbled upon this wonderful comedy purely by chance, while zapping through some TV channels a friend of mine and me dropped into a weird chase, where some girls on rollers try to catch a man in a local marathon. We continued watching this movie and had a really good time, laughing and laughing.This is what comedies are all about. If it gets you laughing, it is good. If you can't stop laughing, then it's a keeper... 9/10
A good-natured, agreeable, but featherweight and desperately unfunny comedy by Richard Lester. Beverly D'Angelo (sexy and spirited) and Louis Gossett Jr. (amusingly cool) try their best to enliven the film, but there are hardly any laughs and too many unnecessary subplots. (**)
