This to my knowledge is the only film that Robin Williams and Billy Crystal made together, and in my opinion it is a good showcase for two very funny actors at the top of their game.
The plot is simple enough and the great thing about that is that lends itself more towards the dynamic between the characters being shown in lots of different scrapes. There's strong verbal and physical comedy and the two actors bounce off each other so well.
My only fault with the film, as others have said, is that we have a rushed ending that both doesn't paint the mother in a very good light or give us the conclusion we hoped for. In a very funny comedy it is sad to see the ending just fade away.
Overall, while not being the best film either of these two actors have been in, it is still better than most of the 'comedies' we see today.
