I was laughing to myself while falling asleep the night after I watched this thinking about the one scene where he miraculously walks and how that changes after you’ve seen the end. A silly little riot, I love a con movie and they had great chemistry! Steve Martins facial expressions are a national treasure.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (1988) - Full Reaction - Popcorn In Bed

Watch the full reaction to Dirty Rotten Scoundrels on Popcorn In Bed.

Comments

Just Plain Bob

Steve Martin is widely regarded as one of the great comedians of all time and, even held in such high esteem, he’s still underrated. As for Michael Caine, Cassie should do a poll of his top 8 rated movies and then watch them all in the order they finish. His performance in “Get Carter”, in particular, is next level great.

Jake McNulty

Glad you enjoyed yourself Cassie. For more Steve Martin I would highly recommend "The Jerk", "The Man with Two Brains" and "L.A. Story". And for Michael Caine you should check out "The Italian Job", "Get Carter", "Alfie" and "The Man Who Would Be King" co-starring Sean Connery.

Ben Livingstone

Well spotted, Cassie! The guy from The Pink Panther was named David Niven, and he played the Michael Caine role in the original version of this movie!

K, Zachary

We are both glad, you found this hilarious as we both have. You actually caught me during my morning prayers on Hallow. Insomnia can be tough sometimes. We both can't wait to watch this with you tonight, and to laugh your self silly. The dogs and the girl I love are fast asleep. Steve Martin was quite tender in Father Of The Bride and Roxanne wasn't he? From the both of us. We want to to tell you. We appreciate you and the work you do Cassie.

Duke Pootentooter

I saw the musical version of this on Broadway in 2005, with John Lithgow in the Michael Caine role. I thought they did a good job with the conversion; they kept the story intact, most of the songs were catchy with clever lyrics, and they really ramped up the comedy aspect. Lithgow's acting was good and his singing was fine for the comedy sections, but unfortunately they gave him a solo ballad and that was a bit rough - it was clear he was not a natural singer. But if anyone has a chance to see a revival or local production, I'd recommend it. Very entertaining.

Rick Rodriguez

Oh I love this movie. An ex-girlfriend showed it to me for the first time and now it's a once a year watch. So happy to do it with Popcorn in Bed.

Rick Rodriguez

The Man Who Would Be King is so Fantastic. Due for a revival of appreciation in film culture.

Jake McNulty

And also Steve Martin would go on to play Clouseau in "The Pink Panther" (2006) and "The Pink Panther 2" (2009)

Mark White

Thanks for the reaction Cassie, glad you enjoyed it. Cassie, I don’t know if it’s you or Ben who puts these full reactions up? But, it’s got to be about 3ish in the morning there! Get To Bed! I see this happen quite regularly. Your sleeping patterns must be all over the place, you must be knackered! Sorry, I can’t help but sound like my mother! 😆

Dan M

Yes! I’ve been anticipating your reaction to this movie since you watched Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. The wait is finally over! This movie is hilarious with brilliant performances by both Steve Martin and Michael Caine. And I’m hoping you recognized Glenne Headly from Mr. Holland’s Opus. Wish I could fast forward through my work day so I could enjoy seeing you laugh again after a rough October schedule.

Dean Holt

It’s got to have been at least 25 years since I’ve seen this. I watched it loads of times in the 90s and we might still have it on VHS 😂. So I’m really looking forward to rewatching it after such a long time.

John P Tucker

End Of Watch, Training Day, Wind River, Hell or Highwater, Miami Vice

Mojo One Thousand

A fun movie directed by "Yoda" (Frank Oz) and starring "Emperor Palpatine" (Ian McDiarmid - "Arthur", the butler). Glenne Headly ("Janet") played the wife of Richard Dreyfuss' "Mr Holland" in "Mr. Holland's Opus". But I will always remember her from Warren Beatty's "Dick Tracy" which I watched a bunch as a kid. It would be a pretty good pick for the channel, even it it was just for the cast. Unfortunately we lost Glenne Headly back in 2017. Although Michael Caine does use some proper Aussie slang as "Chips O'Toole", his accent is a bit all over the place. Also, Aussie's don't say shrimp, we call them prawns. "Shrimp on the barbie" is from an Australian tourism ad from the 80s directed at the North American market, with its spokesperson Paul Hogan ("Mick 'Crocodile' Dundee") - I think a year or so before that movie came out and blew up. I like that Cassie found "Freddy's" name association game familiar when he was in jail try to remember "Lawrence's" name... "Leeroy Nimon" anyone? I was waiting for the reveal at the end as the characters aren't that redeeming, and so that pays off. At one point Cassie did almost say the name of the movie, while trying convey her thoughts about the behaviour of "Freddy and Lawrence"... so I guess they picked the right name. This, although apparently already being a remake, was remade in 2019's "The Hustle" with Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson in the leads. Another con-artist based movie, but tonally different is "Matchstick Men" with Nic Cage and Sam Rockwell. It's been a while since I suggested it, but it fits with this movie being watched.

Walter Crockett

Walter The Film Hermit here! This was the month that I won the Pick A Flick. I was so shocked when I won, I entered every month since I heard of the drawing, and I came close once before, but when my name was last in the kernel screen, I couldn't believe it ! Cassie I want to thank you for a great reaction as always. I am so glad that you enjoyed the movie. Thank You for watching my Pick A Flick Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. This has been one of my favorite comedies since I was a kid. Again Cassie Thank You for your wonderful channel, and everything that you do. 😁👍

Michael West

Cassie invented a new dance, “the sneaky rabbit”. This is just a fun movie. It’s been forever since I’ve seen it. Steve Martin is his typical genius. Michael Caine is such an amazing actor, he can play almost any role. Another great Michael Caine movie that I think you would enjoy is Second Hand Lions with Robert Duval. Hope you get to see it sometime.

Keith Brown

Steve Martin and Glenne Headly teamed again for 1996's "Sgt. Bilko" directed by Jonathan Lynn who did "Clue" and "My Cousin Vinny" among many other funny movies .

Clay F

+1 for "Matchstick Men". I think she would that better than this movie?

Clay F

First watch. Not my favorite but ok. I like the ending. Congrats to the PAF winner. Freddy was annoying -- difficult to look at and listen to. I remember Steve Martin being propelled to stardom by his SNL appearances in late 70s. I liked him. Nolan Batman I've always liked Michael Caine. You may not remember, but he was Alfred in the Nolan (Christian Bale) Batman trilogy. He was excellent. You mentioned in a Live that you would like to watch Nolan Batman series again. You said you hadn't watched Nolan Batman trilogy in 15-20 years and don't remember it -- that you likely didn't really watch it. I would very much welcome a rewatch reaction to Nolan Batman trilogy. Would be great for the channel. Carly could join.

Nick Ireland

I watched this movie so many times as a kid and I have to say, it holds up. I laughed out loud multiple times. This was a really fun re-watch.

Duke Pootentooter

Other con artist movie suggestions: The Lady Eve (1941) Nightmare Alley (1947/2021) The Hustler (1961) / The Color of Money (1986) Paper Moon (1973) House of Games (1987) The Grifters (1989) Leap of Faith (1992) The Spanish Prisoner (1997) The Talented Mr Ripley (2001)

Just Plain Bob

Great idea with some truly superb film choices!

bgb1975 (Brian)

So glad you liked this one, Cassie! Can't wait to watch it with you. Did you recognize the Emperor from Star Wars?

bgb1975 (Brian)

The movie Sgt. Bilko wasn't bad, but Phil Silvers really was great in the original role. That was such a great show.

Stick Figure Studios

Can I just say how impressed I am, Cassie, that you recognized the resemblance between Michael Caine in this film and David Niven from THE PINK PANTHER? Because DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS is actually as remake of a 1964 film called BEDTIME STORY where the Steve Martin character Freddy was played by a young Marlon Brando and Lawrence Jamison was played by... wait for it... DAVID NIVEN!!! :-O For my money, this movie is much better than the original.

bgb1975 (Brian)

Didja ever see "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid"? It was one of my favorite Steve Martin movies. Well worth a watch, especially if you are familiar with a lot of the old classic movies. A lot of famous co-stars "alongside" Steve Martin as private detective Rigby Reardon. James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, Cary Grant, many others...

Keith Brown

The movie has Phil Silver’s daughter Cathy in it. She is the character that is teamed with Chris Rock’s character.

Stick Figure Studios

"I'm not sure what I want to have happen... I don't think I want either of them to win." Oh, boy. Do you ever get your wish.

Stick Figure Studios

And the mother from the original FREAKY FRIDAY (although I doubt Cassie has seen that one).

Stick Figure Studios

I have aeen this film literally dozens of times and I never tire of watching it. It truly is one of the funniest and most clever comedies ever made and one of my all-time favorite movies. As I've said elsewhere, it's a remake of a 1964 film called BEDTIME STORY with David Niven, Marlon Brando and Shirley Jones and while some scenes are almost identical -- not just in terms of dialogue but in terms of the staging and camera work -- this movie improves on the original in every way. "Maybe Freddy will give up his ways and love her too." Interestingly, that is actually how the original one ends (I know that's a spoiler, but I doubt you'll ever see it). This ending is much better. You are right about the chemistry between Michael Caine and Steve Martin. It is terrific. Caine is actually a very gifted comic actor as well (if you want to see him in another cute comedy, I recommend WITHOUT A CLUE where he and Ben Kingsley play Sherlock Holmes and Watson, only in that one Holmes is the buffoon). Glenne Headley (RIP), who you saw as the wife / mother in MR. HOLLAND'S OPUS, uses her inherent sweetness to her advantage in playing this character who is not what she seems (she and Steve Martin actually did another movie together called SGT. BILKO). The French Riviera locations are absolutely gorgeous and the whole supporting cast is also quite solid (Ian McDianrnid aka the Emperor from STAR WARS, is Arthur the Butler, Lady Fanny of Omaha is Barbara Harris from the original FREAKY FRIDAY and other wonderful actors like Francis Conroy and Dana Ivy also show up). The film was directed by former Muppeteer and voice of Fozzy Bear, Miss Piggy, Grover Bert and Animal -- not to mention Yoda -- Frank Oz. He was on a hot streak there for a while with a lot of really good movies including LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, WHAT ABOUT BOB, HOUSESITTER and this. So glad you got a chance to finally watch it. I knew you would enjoy it because I know you love a good con and I was curious to see if you would figure it out before the final twist, but It looks like after all this time the movie still does a good job of stringing the audience along until the final revelation (the excellent performances of the actors being a big part of that). A great reaction. Thanks. Keep up the good work. :-)

Stick Figure Studios

And Steve Martin and director Frank Oz teamed up multiple times in this, LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS and HOUSE SITTER.

Stick Figure Studios

An excellent choice Walter. You have great taste. It's one of my all-time favorite films that I've seen literally dozens of times. I even sent Cassie the Blu-ray to it years ago and have been hoping ever since that she would do a reaction to it. I knew she would love it and she did. Good job on your terrific pick.

Stick Figure Studios

Yeah, Glenne Headley was great. I also first noticed her in DICK TRACY (a movie which I think doesn't get nearly the attention it deserves), but she's in a lot of great films including this one, MR HOLLAND'S OPUS and THE PURPLE ROWS OF CAIRO. When Warren Beatty finally dies perhaps a poll of his movies could happen. I bet DICK TRACY would have a very good shot of winning that.

Stick Figure Studios

Sadly Michael Caine is probably nearing the end of his life, so a poll of his movies might just happen. I can think of quite a few that would be worth watching on the channel.

Vrtop

Kind of creepy having the emperor as your butler

Goofaman

OK, seriously why aren’t you putting captions on these. I’m paying for these videos so I should get captions. If you don’t know how to put them on this video here’s the link on how to. All you have to do is tell YouTube you wanna add captions and it’ll automatically do it. https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2734796?hl=en

Steve Holton

When effusively praised for his landmark roles in "On The Waterfront", "A Streetcar Named Desire" and "The Godfather", Marlon Brando would often push back saying his favorite of his films and his favorite working experience was as Freddy Benson in "Bedtime Story", the original 1964 version of this story. After viewing the revised ending of "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" Brando exclaimed, "That is what we should've done!" and he immediately reached out to director Frank Oz, wanting to work with him. The result was the film "The Score".

Goofaman

Really glad you did this movie. I would highly suggest you do All of Me with Steve Martin also. And of course, The Jerk if you haven’t seen that already.

Stick Figure Studios

And ironically he hated Frank Oz while they were making THE SCORE. At a certain point he wouldn't even come on set if Oz was there, so DeNiro had to direct Brando while Oz observed from a distance and gave directorial notes to Bob.

Stick Figure Studios

Definitely. I would rather have Lawrence Jamison himself as my butler.

Stick Figure Studios

Cassie, if you're ever interested in seeing what is essentially a female version of DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS, I recommend HEARTBREAKERS with sigourney Weaver, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Gene Hackman, Ray Liotta and Jason Lee. It's hilarious.

Popcorn In Bed

I actually have a patreon only reaction to ALL of ME! So funny! It never made it to YT thought

Catherine LW

Don’t forget Zulu for Michael Caine! I always had a crush on him. The Man Who Would Be King is another great film. I believe Caine met his wife on set.

Philip Alan

Great movie. Great reaction! So funny... you were too concerned with everyone's (characters in the movie) feelings to really enjoy that whipping scene at the hotel. I was in TEARS in the theater! I laugh every time I see that scene!

Joanthan Skidmore

If you'd like to see Michael Caine in a classic heist movie, watch 'The Italian Job.' He was 35 in that. Great fun.

TheSingulatarian

He didn't even say "Do it" in his creepiest emperor's voice.

Chris B.

I lose it every time Butler Palpatine (the excellent Ian McDiarmid) says to Freddy with such satisfied contempt "Welcome to hell." Easily one of my favorite comedies.

bgb1975 (Brian)

I also love the emperor's reaction when Freddy asks for the make and model of the emperor's VCR at the end! "Oh, shutup!"

TheSingulatarian

I have not seen this movie since I saw it in theaters in 1988. A literal lifetime ago. Other than a few fashions it holds up very well. They remade it a couple of years ago as "The Hustle" with Rebel Wilson and Anne Hathaway. This is still considered the best version of the story.

Catherine LW

Apparently this is leaving Prime in 2 days, so I will watch it tonight! Update: now it says 25 days.

Clay F

+1 for Paper Moon (1973). She is aware of that movie. +1 for The Hustler (1961) +1 for The Color of Money (1986)

bgb1975 (Brian)

I second Stick's sentiment. Thanks again for picking that one, Walt!

Stick Figure Studios

I like how Michael Caine's character does this thing when he's saying his name and slapping Freddy's shins with each word ("Dr. *slap" Emil *slap* Schaffhausen*slap*) He has to throw in "the third" so he can get one more slap out of it.

David Bennett

I LOVE this movie!! My friends and I have watched and quoted it from many many years. I wish to the high heavens that a sequel had been made, but for what ever reason, that didn't happen. Kinda wish Carly had gotten to watch it too, but sometimes I guess THAT isn't in the cards. Glad you enjoyed it Cassie. My one major annoyance was that they couldn't be bothered to get a NAVY uniform OR an officer's uniform for Freddie's attempted long con. That was an ENLISTED ARMY uniform....FOR SHAME..... Ruprecht the Monkey Boy will forever live rent free in my head. Shame they don't really make comedies like this one anymore..... Cassie if you haven't watched The Three Amigos and also the film Spies Like Us, I would HIGHLY recommend them both. 80's comedies and well worth your time (if you haven't seen them of course..)

Stick Figure Studios

It's also available to stream free on Tubi TV, but you have to deal with ads.

Stick Figure Studios

Or if you want to see Michael Caine in a fun murder mystery with lots of twists and turns, check out SLEUTH and DEATHTRAP.

Clay F

Today was first watch for me. I didn't laugh out loud once. I did have a few chuckles. Not a bad movie.

Nick Ireland

Heartbreakers is a classic. Sigourney Weaver is so funny in that movie

Nick Ireland

Hey a few chuckles on a Tuesday isn't so bad

Terry Yelmene

I'm back after sitting October out, but for some reason can't access the reaction video for Scoundrels or Condor - What's going on?

Christian Becker

"What's a scoundrel?..." - "Hans" Solo is a scoundrel ;-)

Brad

"May I take your trident, sir?" lol

Stick Figure Studios

That makes this one more movie that you and I don't fully agree on then, Clay.

Steve Smith

"Dirty Rotten Scoundrels", no thanks, I'll pass.

Steve Smith

A scoundrel is a person who behaves dishonorably or immorally, often by cheating, deceiving, or treating others badly.

Above Average Dave

CONFIDENCE —with Ed Burns (who inexplicably didn’t become a bigger star), Dustin Hoffman, Paul Giamatti and the always gorgeous Rachel Weisz — is a great “small” con movie (and on a low budget, no less) with fantastic dialogue and so much style. Directed by James Foley (GLEN GARY GLEN ROSS, several episodes of TWIN PEAKS)), who just passed in May.

Jason Dolan

You might recognize Glenne Headly from MR HOLLAND'S OPUS and one day you would watch DICK TRACY and another great one is MORTAL THOUGHTS with Bruce Willis and Demi Moore

fastecp1

That was fun it's been years since I've seen this, I always forget how good Michael Caine is. You should check out the movie Dressed to Kill (1980) with him. And I also love a good con man movie, one of my favorites that no one ever talks about is called Matchstick Men (2003).

Clay F

+1 for Matchstick Men (2003) (comedy/thriller). "Breezy and well-acted, Matchstick Men focuses more on the characters than on the con." Nicolas Cage. Sam Rockwell. Alison Lohman as the Cage character's teen daughter. Many nuances. Not the typical con man movie.

Jason Dolan

*Okay we pick a new gir- wait we pick no girl!" - have not lol'd that hard in a long time

Darren Harrison

I think Michael Caine was great as a criminal in the original 1960s version of “The Italian Job” (1969) - not to be confused with the 2003 Mark Wahlberg version

Cole Jennett

Agree Clay. I enjoyed it, but I’m pretty sure it will be a one and done for me in my lifetime.

Johnny Bullis

OMG Cass.. I am so glad you watched this.. my mom and I watched this a lot when I was a kid. So two people you should know.. Ian McDiarmid who played the butler .. thats The Emperor from Star Wars... and Glenne Headly (Janet) was in Mr Hollands Opus with Richard Dreyfuss.. she was his wife in that. Funny thing too Ian McDiarmid being in this which was directed by Frank Oz the voice of Yoda.. and if you recall Yoda and The Emperor had a lightsabre battle in Revenge of the Sith many years after this was made. Also, Steve Martin has done a few other scenes in movies involving moving his legs against all odds.. like he did in The Three Amigos where hes trying to free himself from the chains.. or he played a con artist healer in Leap of Faith where he "healed" people who couldnt walk.. kinda a neat coincidence. Yes this is a great con artist movie too.. but Id say my favorite has to be The Sting with Paul Newman and Robert Redford. Great reaction as always.

Clay F

Yeah, Stick we don’t always agree but I like reading your comments. Freddy too annoying — his forced facial expressions, etc. — not funny to me. I liked Steve Martin better on some of his SNL skits.

Alan Kobb

FYI, Glenne Headley, who played Janet was the wife, Iris Holland in Mr. Holland's Opus. She was an understated great actresses. We didn't see a lot of her, but she never failed to delight.

jeff

Did anyone notice that the butler was Emperor Palpatine?

jeff

Cassie, if you love con movies, as I do, check out Matchstick Men. Nicolas Cage is a brilliant con man, but with OCD and tons of allergies. Also co-stars the brilliant Sam Rockwell. I'd love to watch you watch it.

Larry Darrell

You know… you gotta respect the skill it takes to scam someone. The perfect planning to have every detail of the scam to appear real and to be able to lie straight to someone’s face, and make them believe you are legit. And then have someone give you money for something that isn’t real and not what it appears to be. The confidence that someone has to have to pull it off. You gotta give credit… (and I’m obviously not talking about the evil heartless Weasels, that steal the last cent from old people or those who have nothing to lose. Obviously… F*** them.) I was scammed once in college. These guys sold me some speakers out of the back of their truck. They claimed that they had delivered a truckload of Sound System equipment to Best Buy, and someone overstocked the truck. If they went back with the speakers, then they would have gotten in trouble because they were responsible for what was in the truck. So they decided to just get rid of the speakers and act like they were never on the truck. Make it like someone else in the warehouse made an inventory mistake, and they would never be involved. They could sell them off real cheap to someone and make a few bucks. They showed me an Ad in Sound & Vision magazine (real magazine) for the speakers that had them listed for 1,000 bucks each. They had 4 in their truck, and they were still in the box, wrapped in foam. Heavy 3’ 6” tall tower speakers. I haggled and then bought two for $400. What a deal right? I go home and take one of them out of the box. It was built nice, looked great. I get on the computer and google the name of the speakers… Digital Research. (This was before Smart Phones.) Nothing comes up. I have to go to the 3rd or 4th page of Google results before I find a mention of Digital Research speakers. It was some forum talking about scams. Gotta say my heart sank a bit. I really didn’t want anything to do with the speakers now, and I put the one back in the box. Put them both in the closet and tried to forget the humiliation. About a month later, a notice was put in the school paper, to be on the lookout for people selling speakers out of the back of their car, claiming they’re worth thousands of dollars, when actually they’re only worth about 100 bucks each. Some people were paying 5, 6 or 700 for each of them. (This made me feel a little better, knowing I only paid 200 for a 100 dollar speaker, but I still didn’t care to look at them.) Maybe a year went by and by now the embarrassment had worn off some. I decided to finally look at the speakers and hook them up. And by God… they worked. They worked great actually. So great… that I still use them as my Front Left and Front Right speakers for my surround sound… 20 years later. I think I got my money’s worth. ;-) An extra little funny addition to the story… Some years ago I was watching an older Tony Curtis and Debbie Reynolds film… The Rat Race (1960) There’s a scene in the film, where guys are selling fur coats out of the back of a truck in New York City, and their story was the same as the guys selling speakers. It was an old Con that’s been working for decades. I just shook my head. If only had I seen this film earlier. :-) Well… you live and learn and you watch movies and learn. That’s Life. I respect the Confidence Men who can do this kind of work… and I am also vigilant of people like this. I am Naive No More. PS: that Digital Research Ad in Sound & Vision was the selling point. I’d love to get a look at that magazine again to see how well it was faked, now that I know. Never Trust Anyone. ;-)

Larry Darrell

+1 for The Lady Eve (1941) Being the Holiday Season, it’s worth noting that The Lady Eve is from Arthur’s List, in the film… The Holiday (2006)

Larry Darrell

“Okay, we pick a new girl… No!! We pick No Girls!!”

Robert da Spruce

They are scoundrels! 😄 You wanna hate them. But it’s more like “you rascals you” (shakes fist) 😉 Fun movie!

Larry Darrell

+1 for Spies Like Us (1985) +1 for Three Amigos! (1986)

Stick Figure Studios

Indeed. It has been mentioned multiple times in this thread already

Stick Figure Studios

And that's fine. I am a huge Steve Martin fan myself and I think his exaggerated facial expressions and loopy physical comedy are brilliant here (and on SNL and in THE JERK and ALL OF ME and so many other things). That was more or less his shtick for a long time going all the way back to his pioneering stand-up routines (until he showed, like Robin Williams eventually did too, that he was a good dramatic actor as well). I think that to whatever degree it is "annoying" is by design as he is playing a very unlikable character (which was kind of a bold move for him to do at that point in his career), but he does it beautifully.

Stick Figure Studios

DEAD MEN DONT WEAR PLAID is kind of a one-joke movie, bit is amusing. The cutting of Martin into classic films is fun and especially rewarding if you recognize the movies in question. To this day I can't hear the words "cleaning woman" without thinking of this film.

Brogan

Oooh this looks like fun...EMPEROR PALPATINE?!?!

Dazman

Still hoping that City Slickers will make it one day. Cassie will love it!

Joe J

I think Duel will be this week. I don't think In the Name of the Father will get an edit...it might? She still has to post Sinners on YT also.

Omar

This one was fun. Good choice!

Omar

Wasn’t Janet also the doc that delivered Steve Martin’s baby in Father of the Bride 2?

Chris Thom

Amazing film. One of my all time favorites.

Stick Figure Studios

I never bothered with THE HUSTLE. It looked terrible and the reviews confirmed that. HEARTBREAKERS is a much better "female version" of this story.

Stephen Dias

Because of previous discussions, for giggles, I tried to sync this reaction to "Bedtime Story." It didn't go well; there appears to be a scene at the beginning of "Bedtime Story" that I didn't see at all in "DRS." They are very similar otherwise. I did, however, prefer the ending of "DRS," which others have said Brando also preferred. It's the same with "Sabrina" for me: as much as I like the 1954 movie, the end of the 1995 remake is more believable, IMO.

Elliot Nesterman

Bedtime Story shows why Brando was not cast in a comedy again, until The Freshman.

Clay F

Hard to root for anyone in this movie. If I had to choose a main character to root for, I would go with Lawrence (the Michael Caine character). At times, the young Glenne Headly was pleasant to look at.

Mojo One Thousand

@Clay, hard to say. Cassie does seem to enjoy more serious movies.

Gray

Good fun and it's been a while since i watched this so only remembered a few scenes. Makes me want to go to the French Rivera too but think i need to win the lottery first lol. Hope we get more Michael Caine movies as there are so many fantastic ones to watch still. Glad to hear there is another podcast ep coming up.

Milton Reduxed

If you have another masculine child may you name him Ruprecht It's funny because when I watched this as a kid I always thought the name was 'Ruprick' lol

Milton Reduxed

I love Spanish Prisoner, we need a whole David Mamet retrospective

beck

I became a member just to watch this reaction LOL This was a family movie we watched when I was growing up. Easily one of Steve Martin and Michael Cain's best! Fun astrology fact -- you said you always associate Steve Martin with fall, he was born August 14th so his first months of life were the fall!

Chryss Guiler

Steve Martin is great in Leap of Faith. It has Debra Winger and Liam Neeson, too, two actors that I really like.
