prideinthetide I love this movie, but I love the songs from Seals and Croft more. I have searched everywhere to find the music with no luck. Please if anyone has any information about how to find the soundtrack I would greatly appreciate it. Gary Busey is wonderful, and the physical comedy by Randal and leechman is amazing. They should definitely put this movie and many more on DVD for further generations to see. I grew up watching the movie just to here the song by S&C during the opening credits and during the love scene by the lake in the van with Gary busey and Annette o'toole. For a good laugh and a sweet ending this is a must see. and it is a shame that it was never given the credit it deserves or the play time and attention.

astins04 Pretty funny. The supporting roles are really out of this world and its a true throwback to '30s movies. Bucey's not bad, but I noticed a little cameo by one of my favorite bit players, John Stinson. Funny as heck, I catch everything he does. Unfortunately I see that he left the scene pretty early on and want to know what he's up to. By a strange stroke of luck I saw a play he produced in Philly called "Nightclub Confidential," again bringing in a hard-won and dry sense of humor, good looks, and a little hope too. His TV performances are no doubt hilarious and I honestly just wish that Stinson had gone leading man. Interestingly, I hear he married another little known but talented actress, Diana Davidson. Together they star in Scared to Death; in which Stinson steals the scene again. *At least Davidson is easy on the eyes, people. A bit breathy. A bit overdone. At least she has Stinson catching her falls.

lightninboy This movie has too much adult material in it, but if you accept that fact, it is a pretty good movie. Busey plays Wes, a likable underdog from Fort Cobb, Oklahoma. His friend Clay has been going to the University of Minnesota, and Wes enrolls to learn building engineering. Susan's grandfather offers wisdom to young Wes. Seals and Crofts perform the title song and "These Moments Never Live Again." The movie paints Minnesota in a favorable light. It shows a Vikings game and the Mississippi River, and it gives you the feeling you're right there. There is a lot of silliness in this movie, but, then, it's called "Foolin' Around."

moviefan-55 This movie is an enjoyable experience from start to finish. Two all time great comedic moments in movie history are in this jewell. Tony Randall steals the show with his portrayal of Cloris Leachman's butler at the engagement party and Busey's thinking out loud comments on answering questions while he has has been summoned to fix an air conditioning problem.The movie has it all... a little romance, a little comedy, great character development, good acting, but most of all, a great script.The editing is above average, good locations and even the chase scene at the end has its thrills. Look for William H. Macy in the beginning.Why can't Hollywood make more movies like this one?
