The Best of Times 1986  PG-13, 105 min.
Genre: Comedy
Director: Roger Spottiswoode
Cast: Kurt Russell, Robin Williams, Pamela Reed, Holly Palance, Donald Moffat, Margaret Whitton, M. Emmet Walsh, Donovan Scott, R.G. Armstrong, Dub Taylor
This movie has a good cast; however, the premise is weak. Two men try to overcome their past failings by reliving a missed pass at a high-school football game in which their team lost.

Genre: Comedy
Director: Hugh Wilson
Cast: Steve Guttenberg, Bubba Smith, Kim Cattrall, G.W. Bailey, Donovan Scott, George Gaynes, David Graf, Marion Ramsey, Michael Winslow, Ted Ross, Andrew Rubin, Leslie Easterbrook, Debralee Scott, Bruce Mahler, Scott Thompson
This satire on police academies contains overblown characters acting out a script that, at times, seems nonexistent. However, it did do well at the box office and spawned many sequels.

Popeye 1980 PG, 114 min.
Genre: Family / Comedy / Musical / Romance
Director: Robert Altman
Cast: Robin Williams, Shelley Duvall, Ray Walston, Paul Dooley, Paul L. Smith, Wesley Ivan Hurt, Richard Libertini, Linda Hunt, Donald Moffat, MacIntyre Dixon, Roberta Maxwell, Donovan Scott, Allan F. Nicholls, Bill Irwin, Robert Fortier
This financially less-than-successful rendition of the cartoon character who is "strong to the finish because he eats his spinach" is still OK, but slow, fare as Robin Williams plays the "human" version of Popeye the sailorman, and Shelley Duvall plays the light of his life, Olive Oyl. Popeye and Olive Oyl get together, and Popeye adopts Swee'pea (Wesley Ivan Hurt), but problems lie ahead with Bluto (Paul L. Smith).
