Max Dugan Returns

❤Nov 16, 2022

I owe a great deal of thanks to Neil Simon for this awful movie. After 15 minutes I walked out and went in to see the only other film at the duplex, an unknown called LOCAL HERO! WOW! One of my all-time TOP 5 FILMS! It was a stark contrast between this tired old c**p and the brilliance that can be achieved in movie making.

I love this movie,It's a small low budget film that is simply a joy to watch,the characters are great.I can't wait until Fox releases Max Dugan Returns on DVD!!!The story is not lost in a bunch of silly special effects,come to think of there no special effects at all.I you want to enjoy a bit of nostalgia see this movie.

My grandfather was a navy veteran and a recipient of the Navy Cross. He was on production crew of All the Presidents Men when Jason Robards bragged to an entire room of cast and crew about being awarded a Navy Cross. Robards never got a Navy Cross. His ship did. Anyone ever in the USN knows you don't EVER say you got a Navy Cross when the ship got one. It is stolen valor. I just can't bring myself to watch any film with this lying hypocrite in it.

Something about this movie just makes me feel like I 8-10yrs old again. So glad I came across it in my 40's & am able to share it w/my kids (18 & 21yrs old lol) but they understand the way I am w/talking about my childhood!! ❣

Probably one of the best Neil Simon has done. The story is based on a widowed schoolteacher raising her teenage son on her paltry salary and trying to raise him to be a good person but her long lost terminally ill father reenters her life seeking to spend his last six months with her and his grandson. Complicating matters is he is also bringing along a satchel with 647 thousand dollars he skimmed off a casino while working as a blackjack dealer. Although the money was originally his when he owned the land the casino he stole from "legally separated" him from it, his daughter is still worried about the influence of such dealings on her son. There is also a special appearance by the late Charlie Lau, former batting coach for the Chicago White Sox. Great for the whole family.

I first saw this as a kid, in the early 80s, so it brings back fond memories to see it again. Clever dialog written by Neil Simon -- it has his signature all over it! A few surprising appearances as well, including Kiefer Sutherland as a baseball player (and he's not even credited on IMDb for this film), Shelley Morrison, who played Rosario the maid on Will & Grace, and David Morse as a cop. Robards plays Max Dugan, a ne'er-do-well absentee father who returns to the scene with a suitcase full of dubiously obtained money. His dying wish is to get to know his teenage grandson and to reacquaint himself with his daughter after 28 years. It's entertaining, well written, well acted. What's not to like?

Robards carries this Neil Simon picture delightfully. It moves along with a nice pace and keeps the laughs coming.

A real feel good movie. Single mother, nerdy son, no relief, just the daily grind to reach another day. Jason Robards returns to the family unit (temporarily). It has to be temporary because of his larcenous past. Before he leaves again, he rights a lot of wrongs. He makes up for being an absent dad and grandfather in a very short period of time. Max is a fixer and a miracle maker and his eccentricities are contagious. You'll cheer him and his exit from the family AGAIN.... JASON ROBARDS is under-rated as far as I'm concerned. I've seen him in too many roles that HE has made memorable....
