Nice review: your knowledge of the film stands behind your opinion on it - but I didn't think it was quite that bad... as light and silly as the plot and treatment are, it is reasonable amusement for a Saturday afternoon watch on TBS!!!

I must agree with Vormancian here. MOON OVER PARADOR may have bored you, for any number of reasons, but its premise is not so as absurd as you make out. After all, look at the reports that the Evil One, Saddam Housein, regularly employs several doubles to throw our true-blue CIA and other assassins off his trail.

Like Vormancian, I find the movie an underrated, amusing satire.

Regards.

This here review contains more actors who make this film eligible for this w/o than anyone else. Sheesh, you certainly did your research.

I don't like picking favourites, but I have to say this is one of the more enjoyable contributions I've read. And considering that I've loved each and every posting, that's quite a feat.

What a disappointment (Reply to this comment)
by artbyjude
This one was! I expected better, and then couldn't stay awake the first time I saw it, and could never make myself revisit, for any reason.

Excellent choice and as usual, outstanding review as well!

You're right, I did sort of leave you hanging there. Delaney's role was so limited there's not much to say except that she played the flighty, co-star who urged Noah to perform his impersonation for Simms. Thanks for your comment. Sheila

. . . review multiple times. At each reading I kept hoping for more mention of Dana Delaney.

Hmpfhhhh! Guess I'll go watch Presidio Med!

:-)

Nicely done.

Sounds like a spoof you have to be in the right mood for and I think I'll check it out with that talent, although Raul Julia doesn't always impress me. Enjoyed it!

Very nice review, and great entry, but I sure have to disagree. I thought this was a great and sorely underrated film.

Oh well.


Cheers!

They don't all have to be thought-provoking to be enjoyable. I laughed a lot at this nonsensical film. Not that there's anything wrong with that.....
