Plot: Dentist Sheldon Kornpett (Alan Arkin) is a respectable man. He has a daughter who is about to marry the son of a very suspicious character, Vince Ricardo (Peter Falk). They are practically relatives already, the wedding is so near. Certainly, Sheldon already despises Vince as if he were already a well-known relative. Nontheless, Vince calls on Sheldon and convinces him to go with him on a series of wild and hilarious adventures, claiming all the while that he is a CIA agent, and that what he is doing is in the national interest. Sheldon follows Vince to a South American country ruled by a very odd man, General Garcia (Richard Libertini), who talks to his hand (which talks back). It seems that the dictator is involved in a scheme to counterfeit and undermine U.S. currency. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

The Original = Really Great Movie!!
Added 11/15/2009

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.

"Serpentine Shel"

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!

Laugh Out Loud Funny
Added 5/6/2009

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...

Comedy at its Best
Added 5/2/2009

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.
