Summary: This warrants a DVD release
Comment: Our entire family loves this flick. Its a slapstick riot to be sure and the two Jims really make the movie. It boggles the mind that this hasnt seen a DVD release yet. I bet I could come up with a list of 1000 other flicks that are much less deserving, but yet we move on to blueray and Hi-Def with no release in sight for this comedy gem. Maybe the execs in charge of this release are all "tankin up" :<)

Summary: Out on a Limb
Comment: This is a little flawed movie, but it has some hysterically funny moments. The two Jim brothers are on my top 10 list of comedic characters. We still joke about "Field Clothes" in my family. Definitly worth a look.

Summary: "Out on a Limb"
Comment: While browsing at a local video store on a rainy weekend, the box for a movie called "Out on a Limb" caught my eye. Watching VHS motion pictures has been one of my most frequent hobbies since I was about ten years old, yet the movie was completely new to me. That struck me as bizarre, since Matthew Broderick is one of my favorite comedians. After substantial research, I discovered that "Out on a Limb" was not a box office success. When yours truly asked ten people what they knew about the 1992 comedy, seven of them didn't have the vaguest idea of what movie I was referring to. Following my rental and viewing of "Out on a Limb", I was generally impressed. It bared resemblence to some of the classic television comedies such as "Laurel and Hardy" and "The 3 Stooges". In other words, this film should be classified as a gagfest, full of little puns and laughers. Though not at all a fan of the classic comedies listed above, I found "Out on a Limb" to be refreshingly enjoyable. Broderick played a common civilian in the plot that was stitched together to include a middle-aged woman taking the civilian hostage and forcing him to do ridiculous things. My main point about "Out on a Limb" is that there is a storyline, and that does the job of making it into a real movie, contrary to many Adam Sandler and Chris Farley films which have no plot. Funny little jokes are included in basically every scene, and, the significance of each joke isn't important since the jokes go from character to character: the jokes will go from the kidnapper to the victim to the police and were initially from a little elementary school girl telling her class what happened on summer vacation. In conclusion, there aren't many clean and outright funny movies like this one out in today's society. It's crystal clear to me that the average movie buff has to have "out of this world" special effects sprinkled on top with sex and violence. This is different in every way, but it is one of the better comedies that I have viewed. Although critic's may disagree with me, I think that Matthew Broderick wasn't as funny 5 years earlier with "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" because that seemed to be a tired movie with nothing to the imagination. If you're looking for an enjoyable movie that makes you think and makes you laugh, then "Out on a Limb" is a winner.

Summary: Broderick murdered this movie
Comment: Francis Veber is one of the most popular frnch director. A lot of US movies were an adaptation of the french ones( three fugitives, the birdcage,father's day,la chèvre and soon le diner de con). "Out on a limb" was his first movie in USA and Matthew Boderick destroyed it. Even in France, it's quasi impossible to find this movie. The only reason to watch it is Jeffrey Jones.
