Amazon.co.uk Review

This remake of Neil Simon's l970 comedy finds Goldie Hawn and Steve Martin as Ohio yokels cast adrift in Mayor Rudy Giuliani's sanitised New York City. With their son recently departed for Britain, the empty-nesters travel to the Big Apple for a job interview and are beset with all kinds of bad luck, starting with their flight being rerouted to Boston. Things only go downhill from there, of course, as they're mugged by an Andrew Lloyd Webber imposter, the high-tech multilingual navigation system on their rented Cadillac goes haywire, and their hotel reservations fall through. Although marred by some out-of-place slapstick and mawkish romance scenes, this film's not without its funny moments. The couple stumbles into a sexual-addiction encounter group and has to try to back out gracefully (not succeeding very well, of course). John Cleese is howlingly funny as he reprises his Fawlty Towers role of a cross-dressing hotelier, and Martin has a great drug-delirium scene, in which he's slipped a hit of LSD in jail (thinking it's aspirin). Just try not to think in terms of comparisons to Neil Simon's original and this remake works fairly well. --Jerry Renshaw, Amazon.com

1.0 out of 5 stars Out of Towners or just Out of It?, 22 Nov 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Out Of Towners [VHS] [1999] (VHS Tape)
I was looking forward to seeing this movie being a fan of the Steve and Goldie partnership in previous films such as House Sitter. But what a disappointment! This is so laboured it's hard work to watch. The comic timing that made Housitter such a laugh is non-existent here. Even Steve and Goldie perform as if they are just going through the motions.

If you're a fan of Goldie and Steve's previous top-notch comedies then give this one a miss and save yourself the disappointment

5.0 out of 5 stars A right Belly Laugh, 22 Feb 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Out Of Towners [VHS] [1999] (VHS Tape)
What a laugh! i watched this movie with my sister and we were in creases the whole time. Steve martin and Goldie Hawn create the ultimate disaster couple. The comedy is very similar to the National Lampoon Vacation saga which is certinately not a bad factor. John Cleese(tranvestite hotel manager) is also hilarious I loved the part when he's dancing to Donner Summer's 'Bad Girls'. Worth buying at this cheap price.

2.0 out of 5 stars The Out of Towners (1999), 6 July 2003
This review is from: The Out Of Towners [VHS] [1999] (VHS Tape)
This modern version is a big disappointment to anyone who saw the original with Jack Lemmon and Diane Keaton. I barely managed one good laugh from the whole film, whereas the original had me doubled up throughout.
