Better with age.

I remember seeing this when it was just out. I thought Glenda was a little old for a leading lady. Now, I think she's quite charming. The movie has a mellow air to it. No violence or vulgarity; pleasant viewing. Open up a bottle of wine and start the movie.

So funny and well done!

This movie is so much fun and cleaver! This may be an older movie, but even the kids loved it. Payback is just great the way Walter Matthau does it. For an evening of pure enjoyment, this one will fit the bill for sure.

The product arrived in good condition in a timely manner.

This is a movie that my wife and I have loved for a long time and only had it on Beta tape. This is the second purchase of this DVD, this time for a sick friend to cheeer him up.

As always, the tape came in good condition, and as promised as far as delivery.

Walter Matthau is in peak form in Hopscotch, a featherweight spy-game comedy in which he plays a CIA agent who's way smarter than his dimwitted superiors. That's the fantasy part--this amusing cat-and-mouse game is so lopsided that you can't take it seriously. The movie's charm is derived from the sardonic pleasure with which Matthau makes his pursuers look like idiots, after they've targeted him for "termination" for publishing a tell-all memoir about his tenure in "the Company." He's no stool pigeon, however; it's his boss (played with blustery thick-headedness by the great Ned Beatty) who's abusing his power, so Matthau recruits an old lover (Glenda Jackson) to join him in a globetrotting game of clandestine cleverness. Under Ronald Neame's too-casual direction, this is a not-so-wild goose chase, but Matthau and Jackson (reuniting after they had fun making the 1978 comedy House Calls) have an easygoing chemistry that's nicely balanced with Matthau's cantankerous shenanigans. --Jeff Shannon
