One s got a sophisticated suave and debonair con act. The other s got...well an act. Together Steve Martin and Michael Caine are Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and they re absolutely ruining the Riviera in this hilarious battle of wits and double-crosses (Boxoffice) that couldn t be more delightful (The Wall Street Journal)! Martin is Freddy Benson a small-time con man sleazing his way through Europe on whatever handouts he can scam. Caine is Lawrence Jamieson an impeccably dressed and high-minded artiste who thinks Freddy is giving him -- and all con men -- a bad name. At first Lawrence agrees to help Freddy spruce up his talents and his wardrobe. But when it becomes apparent that the Riviera isn t big enough for the both of them they make a winner-take-all wager over the fortunes of a naive American soap heiress (Glenne Headly): The first one to clean her out can make the other clear out -- and keep the Riviera and its unsuspecting tourists to himself!Special Features:Audio Commentary with Director Frank Oz Behind-The-Scenes FeaturetteTeaser TrailerOriginal Theatrical TrailerSystem Requirements: Running Time 110 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY Rating: PG UPC: 027616869272 Manufacturer No: 1002729

As good as ever.

Steve Martin was all about the painfully obvious humor. Michael Caine is so much a stuffed shirt.

What they have together here, however, is damned funny. I must have seen this better than a dozen times now but there are still laughs throughout. It's always nice as a small gift ^_^

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels review

So funny, so good. You can't go wrong with Steve Martin & Michael Caine. My favorite character is Ruprect.

Always fun

We have seen this at least 5 times now and it's a film you can still laugh at each and every time. Michael Caine was great.

A Classic Comedy

An American con-man who strives for the quick cash, a Suave European con artist who prefers the more organized and high paying con.What do you get when these two men collide?, you get one of the most treasured comedies to date. Steve Martin plays an American con artist who has his sights on Europe. While traveling by train he meets the greatest con artist in all of Europe ,who is played by Michael Caine.Michael Caines character appears to con by a strict set of rules, as he plans every detail and he never cons anyone who can't afford it. Upon running into the latest victim of Caine's sceems, Steve Martin uses his knowledge of the crime to black-mail Michael Caine into teaching him the art of the Big Con.What follows are some of the most hilarious scenes of comedy in film history.After performing in several con jobs and recieving nothing but knowledge Steve Martin decides that it is time to up the stakes; the two men agree on a wager to steal an enourmous amount of money from a wealthy woman; whoever loses must leave Europe for good.Steve Martin decides to portray a wounded war veteran "Freddy", who's mother needs an opertation and who's fiancee has left him, While Caine decides to portray the good doctor "Emil Schuafhousen", who is just the man to treat Freddy's symptoms.Slowly each man begins to fall for the lovely "Janet", and soon the wager changes from money to Love. The ending of the film is a shocking conclusion that leaves the veiwer gasping.In conclusion, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is an absolutely wonderful comedy that all can enjoy, with an excellent cast and story such as this, you can't go wrong. Thank you for your time.

Disappointing Steve Martin

This is not nearly as amusing or clever as reviewers would have one believe. The script is inconsistent and ultimately depends upon an Agatha Christie type identity switcheroo at the end, a very cheap way to end a story. Miller overdoes things, especially the Jerry Lewis impersonations. Caine is as cool and effective as usual. On the whole, the film is only average entertainment for the superficial.
