I always liked it. It's a very funny and sweet movie. Billy Crystal is good and it was great to see Anne Ramsey working after her stroke. IMO, I'd say it's a safe $6 buy.

This is one of my favorite comedies. I'll agree with abintra about Crystal's performance. That sort of thing usually bugs, but everything else in this movie is so wonderful that I can overlook it.
Even after seeing Death To Smootchy I wish Devito would make more movies. He's not thought of as a film maker, but he has some pretyy impressive films on his resume IMO; Throw Momma From The Train, War of the Roses, Matilda. All these films are really strong visually. He uses a lot of unique camera shots and movements, and with the exception of DTS, has a good taste in material.
