OlivieLo Give me a break is a very great movie that it may contain boring elements or adult things (condom) but this movie is actually a very great movie describing Christmas and being a MJF fan I have to watch this one to support Michael. Michael Chapman (Mikey) is a star agent. the story that he discovered a girl Angie Vega and brought her to cast (Casting) that she stole things ...... that they later found that she stole the manager/boss things and afterwords the 2 main cast also voiced in Stuart Little as Stuart little and cat snow-bell. without this movie, nobody would know that Michael J Fox can also play brilliantly in Disney movies. I like this movie. I rarely watch Disney movies due to they are for kids. but this one.This one I watch for Michael J Fox. and yes this movie is a great movie that I had finally got more than what I expected from this movie. my friend calls Mikey due to this movie.

nimstic I love this movie - Michael J Fox and Nathan Lane, you wouldn't expect anything but genuine comedy. The entry of this movie is one of the reasons why I do not want to give much respect to IMDb ratings. Everyone wants to be an arty or an intellect here, when movies like these (though not very intellectual, having brilliant entertainment value sans rubbish) get lost with low ratings.There are some insanely funny scenes - at the same time there are some wonderfully touching moments as well. I watched this movie 10 yrs ago - I love it now as much as I loved it back then. The atmosphere of the film is simple, entertaining and funny.This is a must watch, if you enjoy light-hearted, genuinely funny comedies. Very good movie 9/10

moonspinner55 Disappointing comedy-drama with a sentimental coating has Michael J. Fox ideally cast as a former child star who now runs a talent agency for thespian tots; brother Nathan Lane and Cyndi Lauper are his assistants. This all sounds as if it can't miss, however too much of the scenario is given over to strident Christina Vidal as a streetwise tyke whom Fox believes will be the next big thing. They quickly lock horns, and the bantering, back-and-forth dialogue takes them to an uninteresting, formulaic finish. Fox and Lane are both appealing, but the energy of the early scenes gives way to treacle. Slickly-produced, but ultimately stale. *1/2 from ****

w1cht3l I haven't watched this movie in a long time, but it still holds clear in my mind: Michael J Fox is a child actor turned talent agency rep. The gist is that they are going down the tubes and it will take a definite miracle to pull things back together. Fox is charming to the last, and also brings light to an issue that was becoming more and more prominent in the early 90's- smoking and trying to quit. Nathan Lane was very funny and sociable with Fox in this film, and Angie was a devious, but reliable kid. I didn't realize Cyndi Lauper was Geena until I wrote this summary. I've heard about her being a celeb, but I didn't realize I had a film with her in it.
