    A splashy Disney curiosity. It's great seeing Bill Cosby as the Devil! Elliot Gould plays Max Devlin, a rotten man who is given the chance to save his own soul by finding others who are more evil. It's fun black comedy.

    THE first movie my family ever rented. You know back in the day when you had to rent the VCR too. It came in a big bulky plastic case like a musical instrument. The kind that had the top that popped up so you had to slide the tape in and press the whole thing back down. Wow.

    Bill Cosby's atypically straight, macabre performance here is mildly amusing, but this film is still a steaming pile of awfulness.

    i thought this movie was good, but not exactly great... it definitely makes you think about what is really important in life...

The performances are attractive though, with one exception, not especially memorable. Full Review

TV Guide's Movie Guide

Despite an encouraging start, the film degenerates into typical Disney sentimentality. Full Review

Time Out

The script has its moments, especially when Cosby is around as the Devil's aide, but the film finally subsides in a welter of structural flaws and heartwarming sentiment. Full Review

I loved this as a kid. It didn't hold up well, once I grew up.
