Hilarious, Cracked me up! Such great characters! I really got a kick out of Arliss Howard and Debra Winger in this movie. I don't normally like Dennis Quaid, but I thought he was perfect for this. It's just so... strange. Unconventional, maybe, is a better word. People have called it quirky. It's just plain hilarious, a riot. Good fun! I highly recommend it. It's a shame it's so hard to find.
Greats Balls of Fire And indeed they are. Both brothers are able to mold spheres of fire and toss them around like baseballs full of nitroglycerin and napalm. Great stuff. I haven't seen the movie in years, but I've just added it to my Wishlist and am hoping to see it again come xmas. ^_^
hot movie, cold price This is a really delightful and peculiar comedy from GG Caron (Moonlighting). Unfortunately, it is also ludicrously overpriced at $22. If this film had come out on MGM instead, at about half the cost, it might have found a more receptive market.
So bizarre it's fun! This movie stars Dennis Quade, Arliss Howard and Debra Winger. Debra Winger is married to one of two brothers who share an unusual ability, the ability to start fires. Of course the movie starts out with Winger under house arrest for arson and only gets better from then on. From chorusing firemen to twisted carnival clowns and look out for Jim Varney to be part of the action too.
This is a Must See Movie!!!!!!!! I feel sorry for Lenard Maltin that he couldn't see the wonderful intertainment in this film. My wife and I saw it a few years ago and had to make it a part of our perminent collection! Anyone who doesn't see the genius in this film has no depth. We are 50 something and don't understand why Lenard pulled a thumbs down. Do yourself a favor and get his movie! Everytime you watch it it reviels something new. The singing firemen were the icing on the cake!!!
