Tim Conway One of the Funniest!.......2007-07-20

Two Very Funny Tim Conway Movies!!!

This double feature set is well worth the value! So what that films like these are not presented in widescreen.

The Longshot is the better of the two movies, though I enjoyed them both. I laughed like mad at The Longshot it was perfectly cast and written by Conway. It was a very very funny film.

They Went That-A-Way was good also, it was basically a modern day Laurel and Hardy film, made in 1978.

Check out Tim Conway in these great DVDs also, McHale's Navy - Season One and McHale's Navy: Season Two.

Classic Humor.......2006-08-11

This is classic Tim Conway humor. If you like good old fashion clean situational humor then this is a must have. Its hard to find humor that doesn't rely purely on sexual inuendos to force a laugh. But here is the diamond in the rough. Enjoy!

Get it for the longshot.......2004-12-08

The Longshot is a relatively unknown comedy that deserves more attention. It's a story of 4 blue collar type nobodies just shuffling their way through life. You have to pull for them throughout the movie as they are genuinely grounded in their lifestyles, yet reach out for a once in a lifetime opportunity that turns out to be a scam. Which makes the movie only more realistic. Any fan of gambling will appreciate the moments at the track. Each character brings something different to the group, yet no one dominates the action even though Tim Conway appears to lead them. It's a lighthearted comedy that has funny moments sprinkled throughout with a general depressing yet funny atmosphere...Watch for Tim Conway visiting Ms. Dixons apartment, it's one of the funnier sequences in the movie.

Got the Longshot.......2003-12-09

I happen to be a Tim Conway fan, and I love horseracing, so I love this movie. The plotline is you have 4 guys who are losers who like to go to the track and gamble. While at the track, they get a tip from a track worker about his attempt to fix a race using a 40 to 1 longshot named French Majesty and giving it something that will make it run fast. The catch is that he needs money to do it, so our four simpletons go ask a loan shark for the money. They get the money, but find out the mob has their own horse, Papa Chippi, racing in the same race. After finding out the race isn't fixed, Tim takes things into his own hands, running on the track trying to encourage their glue factory reject to win. Does French Majesty come back to beat Papa Chippi? Will the mob break Tim Conway's kneecaps? Will Stump fix the hose on his fishtank? All of these questions will be answered in 90 minutes.

BEWARE! Pan and scan DVD.......2003-06-12

These two movies are not Conway's best, but they are still pretty good. The only problem, and the reason for the 1 star rating, is that the DVD presents these films with the sides cut off. In other words, Pan and scan. Had I know that, I would not have bought this.
