I find this to be the funniest of Rodney Dangerfield's starring vehicles. He was also played a pivotal role in the super hilarious "Caddyshack", but that one was not his movie alone while this one is along with other films like "Back to School" and "Ladybugs", two movies of his that for the most part are kind of blah with a few funny moments here and there. This one is about a man whose mother-in-law does not care for him much at all. Nothing new there. However, the difference here is that his mother-in-law is very wealthy and she kicks the bucket and is willing to leave her money to his wife only if he agrees to not gamble, drink, lose weight and not leer at women. All things this guy loves to do. Dangerfield is great here as is Joe Pesci who plays one of Dangerfield's buds. The story does go in a way that one would expect, however there is a nice little twist at the end and an even funnier twist as we will learn that Dangerfield kind of gets the last laugh. The comedy is good and you get you funny jokes that only he could do. I love the one where he witnesses his neighbor getting a suntan. This one never gets overly sentimental and keeps the humor up throughout the movie rather well. A nice Dangerfield flick in my view, probably the best where he is top billed.
