Extremely funny! Middler and Long are a great duo in this movie, and I just loved the story, it's fantastic. I love this movie, and I highly recommend it.
Hadn't seen this since I was a kid, barely remembered it. Pretty funny, if unlikely movie. In the 80s, you really to suspend your disbelief in order to watch something like this. lol
Bette and Shelley fall for the same guy, who has been dating them both. Good cast.
One of those really dumb 80s comedies where they obviously cast Long and Midler first, and then worried about the script afterward. Some of the bickering is mildly amusing, but there are much better uses of your time.
Prissy Shelley Long and foul-mouthed Bette Midler discover they have some things in common: they don't like each other, they both shared the same foreign-spy lover and they're both funny.
Bette Midler's funniest movie. She and Shelley Long are two actresses who somehow get involved in spies and goverment conspiracies. It's an unbelivable situation but funny as hell. Bette and Shelley make a great team and I was suprised they didn't make anymore films together. A ... read more
Kind of funny film but it ruined it for me when George Carlin played the "hippie indian" and he said "genuine indian shit". Isn't racism funny?!

Every bit as rude and wonderful as Ruthless People... Full Review
There's more regressive coyness in this buddy adventure-comedy than anyone should have to sit through in a lifetime... Full Review
Such rarefied screen writing calls for the peerless talents of Arthur Hiller, a director with the comic timing of a tax auditor. Full Review
Unfortunately, the movie is so busy cross-polinating its genres that it never pauses for the kind of thought that might have made it really special, instead of just fitfully funny. Full Review
The plot here has been played out hundreds of times (and often better) in other films. Full Review
As a vehicle for their considerable comic talents, the enterprise is wheelclamped by typecasting. Full Review
A female buddy-buddy movie which grows more and more tiresome as it unspools
Pretty funny star comedy with a couple hysterical bits.
