Rating: Summary: Whoopie!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Review: This is whoopie's best movie5 stars
Rating: Summary: Whoopie At Her Finest! Review: This movie is a classic! Whoopie really shines in this movie and her cast.... oh my! Bob Goldthwait (who can be very very funny!) was great as Whoopie's best friend and confidant, finally something where he doesn't SCREAM. The inept cops (John Goodman and Anne De Salvo) were the epitome of the "dumb" NY cops. Not that they are...just they are depicted that way in many movies. And G.W. Bailey, who you will remember from Police Academy movie fame, does a great job as Whoopie's Evil Parole Officer. They all come together to make this movie one of the best, you'll laugh and giggle constantly. Basically the plot is Whoopie is a Burglar out on Parole, her parole officer (a goober!) gets her to do one more job. As you probably guessed, all goes wrong. She gets all wrapped up in Police chases, dirty parole officers, lousy dentists and they all come together to make you laugh one more time!
Rating: Summary: Burglar Review: What did my parents used to say to me? Oh yeah, "If you can't say something nice, then don't say anything at all."
I'd better not say anything at all about this movie...
Rating: Summary: Distracting Fun Review: While I agree that this is not Whoopi's best movie, it is blithe comic fun that's good for two hours or so of pleasant distraction. Whoopi's irreverent character, Bernie, is a reformed thief forced to do one last job to pay off a blackmailing cop. Along for the ride is the divine Lesley Ann Warren as a nutty dentist, Anne DeSalvo and John Goodman as two bumbling cops always a step behind, and Bobcat Goldthwait in what is probably his only tolerable performance. Tons of profanity, absurd plot twists, and an easily-descerned plot make for a fun farce that is guaranteed to make you laugh.

Rating: Summary: Poor rehash of the "bad guy wrongly accused" formula Review: Whoopi Goldberg's usual likeability is absent in this half-hearted, critically slammed vechicle in which she is cast as a burglar who breaks into an apartment and to her surprise, the guy there gets killed by someone else. Guess who's accussed of the crime? The story has only a select few laughs (I don't agree with critics that Bobcat is a saving grace) plus it's also illogical and predictable. There were too many moments in which I felt that I should have laughed but didn't since like the film, the jokes here are nothing that we've never heard or seen before. Not to mention, the pace is way to slow.
