i miss the way 80s movies feel. not glossy or sharp, a little fuzzy, a tiny bit dirty, thrumming, pulsing. there's something oddly sexless and sterile about a lot of our recent blockbusters. actors don't have wonky teeth, dust on their faces, sweat on their brows. they…

As soon as De Niro and Joey Pants were onscreen at the same time I knew this was gonna be good.

Robert De Niro playfully flashing Moseley’s badge to the camera is one of the purest things I have ever seen. Also good: Every other scene that involves some combination of De Niro, Grodin, or De Niro and Grodin.

It’s not the sum of its parts, so much as it is the way De Niro and Grodin make almost every one of those parts glisten.

Whoever cast De Niro and Grodin must have had a sixth sense for the chemistry they would have; they work together so smoothly, and with such an evident sense of fun, that even their silences are intriguing.
