Hanks is splendid

Early Tom Hanks movie. Loved it beginning to end.
Highly recommend. Another of his great funny ones was 'BIG'.

Great comedy
Added 6/7/2009
This is one of the earlier Tom Hanks movies. While the plot is thin and silly, I laughed frequently during the movie. I love comedy, but only know of a few that really make me laugh.

Enjoyable Comedy!
Added 4/1/2009
This is a very cute movie about a mistaken identity and the power struggle between two rival men in power. A musician- Richard Drew- is randomly picked as the target because he's wearing one red shoe- his friend hid his other one- and the rest of the movie follows him as everyone else follows him. Little things like the fake peanuts his friend (of the red-shoe trick) slips him become objects of obsession for the agents following him. There are also several hysterical scenes where a sexy female agent tries varied tricks to get him to reveal his secrets...except he *has* no information and so doesn't reveal anything- but gets a reputation as a cool operator for not losing his head and saying anything. Watching his friend think he's going insane as he spots (and is knocked out) by the agents following Richard while Richard is oblivious is very funny; some of the best scenes in the movie!
All in all the movie is very cute! Although it's funny and generally clean, there are some scenes I wouldn't let young kids watch (escpecially if they're acute).

A decent comedy
Added 1/15/2009
I have always liked this film.
I saw it in the theater in 1985.
Not perfect, did NOT do well at the box office. A forgotten film now a days.
Tom got top billing after "Splash".
First time Carrie & Tom worked together.
There are 3 scenes in the film I have always enjoyed & will watch more than once.
No extras on the DVD, of course, since the film was not a box office or critical success.
Some scenes where stunt people were used that OBVIOUSLY you can tell it was NOT the actor in question. Carrie (Paula) going out the window of Tom (Richard's) apartment.
Good to have the option to watch it widescreen.
