Nice effects though.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

I love this movie, but I love the songs from Seals and Croft more. I have searched everywhere to find the music with no luck. Please if anyone has any information about how to find the soundtrack I would greatly appreciate it. Gary Busey is wonderful, and the physical comedy by Randal and leechman is amazing. They should definitely put this movie and many more on DVD for further generations to see. I grew up watching the movie just to here the song by S&C during the opening credits and during the love scene by the lake in the van with Gary busey and Annette o'toole. For a good laugh and a sweet ending this is a must see. and it is a shame that it was never given the credit it deserves or the play time and attention.

This movie has too much adult material in it, but if you accept that fact, it is a pretty good movie. Busey plays Wes, a likable underdog from Fort Cobb, Oklahoma. His friend Clay has been going to the University of Minnesota, and Wes enrolls to learn building engineering. Susan's grandfather offers wisdom to young Wes. Seals and Crofts perform the title song and "These Moments Never Live Again." The movie paints Minnesota in a favorable light. It shows a Vikings game and the Mississippi River, and it gives you the feeling you're right there. There is a lot of silliness in this movie, but, then, it's called "Foolin' Around."

No other movie has ever been made or will ever be made that can top Foolin' Around. Gary Busey's performance is pure genius. The amount of times someone gets hit in the nuts only leaves you wanting more. "Everytime I get around that guy something goes Haywire"...

This movie is an enjoyable experience from start to finish. Two all time great comedic moments in movie history are in this jewell. Tony Randall steals the show with his portrayal of Cloris Leachman's butler at the engagement party and Busey's thinking out loud comments on answering questions while he has has been summoned to fix an air conditioning problem.The movie has it all... a little romance, a little comedy, great character development, good acting, but most of all, a great script.The editing is above average, good locations and even the chase scene at the end has its thrills. Look for William H. Macy in the beginning.Why can't Hollywood make more movies like this one?
