Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Aug 12, 2005 Full Review Philip Martin Arkansas Democrat-Gazette Rated: 2/5 Feb 7, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Comedy is the order of the day in this decent film starring the Fat Boys who are hired as incompetent orderlies to speed the demise of an indebted man's wealthy, but ailing, uncle. I did appreciate the cameo of Cheap Trick's Rick Neilson. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie was funny and entertaining then it was funny some more and entertaining some more. A slice of pure 80's greatness.... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Watched this when I was younger, and thought I'd revisit it again, bad mistake. The movie is pretty bad. The Fat Boys have a certain charm...but not enough to carry an entire film. Was funny watching Ralph Bellamy in a film for the 2nd time in less than a week(also in "Trading Places".) Skip it! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member I saw it in the theaters back in '87. 25 years later, it still makes me laugh! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member A must see MOVIE! So funny! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member awww snap does this movie bring back memories of the 80s Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews

Synopsis Winslow Lowry (Anthony Geary) is a greedy man determined to get his hands on the fortune of his ailing and very wealthy uncle, Albert Dennison (Ralph Bellamy). As a way to hasten Uncle Albert's death, Winslow puts him in the care of three hapless orderlies -- Buffy, Markie and Kool, also known as the Fat Boys (The Fat Boys) -- but their jolly dispositions actually make the elderly man feel better. When Winslow steps up his devious efforts, can the trio stop him?
