Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

The acting in this movie is really good.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Where Can I Find this on DVD?? Don't you just love the Clayton family? This show has been given a worldwide 'cult following' status. Like all American comedies (good & bad) there's just this air of magic about this one. Andrew Clay and Cathy Moriarty do it justice and I believe their parts could not have been played by anyone else because for me, they're truly peanut butter and jelly. Only 16 episodes? I think it was because people thought Andrew Dice Clay stinks (which I never understood) being British and all. Many of us craved for a second season..alas it was not to be. All I can do is patiently wait for the UK's Channel 4 re-runs.

Andrew dice clay was ripped off big time for this show.people bashed him for his comedy,but let me tell you he is very underrated as an actor...his comedic moments are top-notch.Hollywood shows dice no respect,and he should get his due.id like to see him in more mainstream movies...as the lead man.if your offended by his stand-up comedy.,don't buy his dvds....i own everything dice has ever did regarding movies and comedy Cd's.i will root for him to make a comeback...because i for one love and appreciate his talent.the lack of respect the #1 comedian in history(record sales).gets is baffling.lastly id like to say diceman your unbelievable in my book.

The network shafted Dice big time, because of how they killed the show off. The sad part is that the entire show was basically recast and repackaged as The King Of Queens. The parallels are to close for it not to be that.Just compare the characters and you can see they are all basically the same characters repackaged for the new show. OK IMDb is forcing me to stretch this comment out, I already spoke my piece about the show but it doesn't seem to meet their ridiculous 10 lines of text minimum. A suggestion to the powers that be at IMDb. Drop or reduce the minimum lines of text. It may be fine for those who write books about their opinions, but for those of us who are quick and straight to the point it screws us over.

This was an average sitcom, but it wasn't as bad as Dice purists made it out to be. First of all, CBS wanted him to drop the 'dice' from his name because this was a family sitcom. It wasn't his idea, which is probably why he was in billed as Andrew Clay in the movies he made around that time. He had a good cast to work with like Oscar winner Cathy Moriarty. Still, this was just an upgraded version of The Honeymooners that was just okay. I don't remember many of the episodes, but Dice was showing true acting ability, and not just the offensive comedy that made him a target of conservatives and the moral majority. Don't get me wrong, I like Dice, but I would like to see more mainstream stuff like this.
