How far would you go to see how far your relatives would go if you were rich & they thought you were dying??....this is the basic plot to this film & it is so funny because all of us have relatives like these, most of us probably have at least one rich relative that everyone is jealous of or can't wait to die, Kirk Douglas is a hoot as Uncle Joe who it seems takes delight in watching his relatives not only suck up to him, but also try to one up each other to win his favor, the late Phil Hartman is a blast as the worst of the bunch who along with the rest gets quite upset when Uncle Joe introduces his new live-in younger girlfriend, Olivia D'Abo (Conan The Destroyer) who is eye candy no doubt, thinking that she might get the inheritance, they bring Danny (Michael J. Fox) into their twisted scheme, it seems that Danny has his own life with his girlfried (Nancy Travis) & doesn't really want to be a part of this scheme, but him & Uncle Joe have always been close & he too begins to get tempted by sudden wealth, suddenly it becomes a battle of will as everyone gets greedy with Uncle Joe just watching & wondering who really cares about him, Abo & Fox's verbal confrontation is funny & Hartman never lets up as the instigator of the bunch, him threatning Abo that people have accidents is funny because you know he is nutty enough to do it, or his & Fox's fight toward the end, I think we all know someone like Hartman's character, Hartman takes this character & just has a field day here & the surprising twist at the very end is funny but manipulating, I think the reason this one didn't do better was beacuse too many people might have been reminded of themselves, the things people will do for an inheritance is quite too real & this one is one good cautionary tale about the joys & pains that wealth can bring to anyone who is rich.

I love the movie but my eye sight is not good. I do not like the widescreen very much. It seems to make the movie smaller. I do have a large screen but that doesn't seem to help. thank you

This movie is hilarious with some excellent people in it including the great Kirk Douglas, Michael J. Fox, and Phil Hartman. It is ridiculously funny but also has a point. Demonstrates how far greed can take people and is so valid in our society. You have to see this.

Awesome MJ Fox movie. Have to love him and his movies

Phil Hartman at his best

The storyline and the plot is genius. I’m a big Micheal J. Fox 🦊 fan and this movie delivered!

This is a great classic comedy with lots of funny lines, and a good story overall

The actors are great. We watched this because we felt like seeing a comedy and were satisfied.
