Description: James Belushi (K-9: P.I., Joe Somebody) and John Ritter ("Eight Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter") push the comic envelope in this "genuinely off-the-wall comedy" (The Science Fiction, Horror and Fantasy Film Review) about an improbable mission between the CIA, the KGB and, of course visitors from another planet! The fate of the entire world lies inthe hands of a brilliant, charming cad of a secret agent named Nick Pirandello (Belushi), who has to barter for global salvation with aliens seeking a highly secret glass of water! Dire circumstancesforce Nick to recruit naïve, insecure insurance agent Bob Wilson (Ritter) as his partner, making his precarious predicament downright preposterous, as their insane mission becomes not only extra dangerous but entirely extraterrestrial!
Real Men This was an okay movie. It had a lot of weird scens in it which I guess made the movie interesting to watch. The only really bad part of the movie is that they really made john ritter out to be a real wuss. All and all it was an okay movie though. john and his sidekick james belushi embark on a really intersesting adventure to try and save the world before the aliens take it over and the only way to save it is with one glass of water,lol. At least watch it once so im not the only one writing a review
Worst Ritter and Belushi film ever This was a plain stupid movie. It took 2 weeks to view it because I had to keep stopping it. Stick with Threes Company and Red Heat.
Real Men "Did I tell you, you are doing a good job today?" Those lines should have been classic! It's an inside joke. This gem has been in my collection for many years. Now I have it on DVD. I sent the other copy to my buddy.
John Ritter and Jim Belushi have never been funnier! Jim Belushi patronizes John Ritter unmercifully as he teaches a mild mannered suburbanite to become a super spy. John Ritter wonders why his home is surrounded and asks, "Are they going to shoot us?" Jim replies, "That's why they brought the guns, Bob."
I don't want to spill too many beans about it. This is one of those things that is too good to share.
Great acting matches quirky storyline. Five stars, no doubt. This one is filed under "Classics". I first saw it on the NBC, Saturday afternoon movie in the 80's when I had nothing better to do but watch, so I did, and got treated to the best Belushi or Ritter film that I have ever seen! Talk about chemistry between actors, these guys had it going on. The kind of interaction every director dreams of. I don't think any other actors could pull it off like these two did. Do yourself a favor and get it. I was laughing the whole time.
Real Men Rock! I can't begin to explain to anyone the humor here. I totally enjoy the slapstick,dry corny humor that flows in this film. Belushi and Ritter have a awesome chemistry.
"AH"!there are so many little funny gags in this film. After all whom among us would believe that some agent from the CIA,or DEA,FBI, needed my assistance to save the world,"HA"! yeah right. I would've reacted just like Bob , if it were me .
I love Diane Thorn jumping on Bob like a dog in heat, NIIICE. Not back for and old school sex goddess. That scene totally kept my interest as to what was going to happen to Bob Wilson next. I rate this movie high on my list of movies i watch over and over and over again. Don't you?
