This was one of those movies that was silly enough to expect anything, but just normal enough to be unsure of what to expect.

Bob Wilson (John Ritter) is a perfectly normal guy. He has the fortune (or misfortune) of looking exactly like agent Pillbox who was killed. Agent Pillbox was in charge of making a critical exchange with some aliens (yes, I said some aliens). Being that the aliens would only accept Pillbox for their exchange the CIA hustled Bob into being the guy. Agent Nick Pirandello (James Belushi) was the special agent in charge of acquiring and protecting Bob as they made a cross country journey to Washington D.C. to make the all important trade.

The movie is funny at times, dull at other times, and you can't ignore the fact that the plot is on the bizarre side. Could I be spending my time doing something better? Yes. Was this movie entertaining enough to fill 90 minutes of empty time? Yes.

Why lie? It's a movie of nonsense. It's John Ritter and John Belushi at their funniest by being themselves. From the music do Belushi'a humor to the silliness of Ritter it's a smack out of the park home. Why not a 10/10? Ehhhh that would be a perfect movie, but for what it is, 8 for sure. There's so many times to LAUGH YOUR ASS OFF from the clown scene to where Ritter thinks he's shooting them with a finger gun, to the scene with Belushi's family. Oh, it's a rare movie you can actually watch in full on YouTube too. But from seeing this as a boy on ch11 WPIX on weekend afternoons to loving it growing up, it's timeless silliness. Let's be honest, it's not Emmy quality, but they weren't trying for it, and it's just a fun flick that makes you laugh in nearly every scene and that alone makes you truly appreciate it.

I really like this film. It has a simple charm to it that wins you over. I remember the night I watched it - pouring rain like crazy, feeling bummed, and then this came on tv. It picked me right up, out of my low spirits, and what would have been a boring evening at home turned into some real laughs. I haven't forgotten that, and I won't forget "real men". It's really a sweet, funny film.
