Editorial Reviews

Director Michael Ritchie spoofs survivalists in this rambling black comedy. Donald Quinelle (Robin Williams) is a successful young executive who is called to his boss' office one morning and is fired by a parrot sitting in the CEO's chair -- a method the company uses to axe high-powered execs. Donald meets Sonny Paluso (Walter Matthau), a former gas station owner who is out of work because his business was blown up. At a diner, the two newfound friends witness a robbery and catch sight of the perpetrator, Jerry Reed (Jack Locke). Reed is a mob hit man who swears to kill the two men who saw him commit the crime. Donald, formerly afraid of weapons, becomes obsessed with guns as a way to protect himself from the mob. He enrolls in a survivalist training school in the mountains of Vermont. ~ Michael Betzold, All Movie Guide All Movie Guide

May 12, 2008: This is a querky little film that exposes the nuances of robin williams and walter mathau at their best....Williams as a paranoid salesman whose tired of the world and the government telling him what to do while he screws it up whether he listens to them or not!...and mathau, his calm cool neighbor who doesn't really want to help him, but finds a way to reach out to the confused and misguided williams in a most unusual way. Lets just say an anti government cult, training for a revolt against america, AND a very good supporting performance by jerry reed makes this a hillarius comedy that really keeps you wondering what to expect next...Hey it not oscar winning material but if yoiu like these two great actors, they won't disappoint you in this B movie that really didn't get much ink, but might deserve a little more.
