Short Review

Summary: (3/5) The cast was good and the film felt short, but the story was mediocre at best. A thumbs down.Story/Screenplay: (2.5/5) Badly dated and silly at times. I mean, why would anyone shovel horse stables when they are eligible to collect unemployment benefits?Duration/Tempo: (4/5) At 1 hour and 32 minutes, it's a very short film that felt shorter. This film moves quickly.Cast & Crew: (3.5/5) Nice to see Denzel Washington in his first film role. George Segal was good, as was Susan Saint James and Jack Warden.
