Purely Joyful Movie!

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Christian Slater plays a man who inherits a police district from his older brother who was gunned down , played by Bruce Boxleitner. apparently San Francisco didn't have enough police,, so there was like citizen patrols broken up into districts is how it was explained in the movie,, so he takes over the district , and trouble follows him everywhere, he has to be trained by his peers because he has no law enforcement experience,, his girlfriend is Milla Jovovich,, really young in this movie. Lots of chases,, funny one liners,, car chases, pretty funny movie,, it's slightly above average,, not Christian's greatest work,, but definitely watchable,, and full of laughs.

i just love this movie had not watch this in sometime, i had forgotten how good it was. i just laughed all the way though again slater is perfect in the roll of kuffs. it was a character tailor made for him. the endless banter to the camera is great and yes i no some people hatred it for that alone.each to there own.the cop story is your standard fare but its like ferris bullers day off with guns.it has good comedy good action and milla what more do you need i mean serious even the non widescreen DVD didn't distract me. and for me that is saying something. yes it is old school but you know thats its appeal it puts a smile on your dial for 90mins.

George Kuffs didn't finish high-school, just lost his job and his girlfriend who still is in college is pregnant.Since he can't see how he can support her, he thinks she is better off without him.So he visits his elder brother, Brad, to squeeze him for a loan so he can go to Brazil where there's a gold-rush going on.Unfortunately Brad is killed and George is suddenly the owner of Brad's "patrol special" district....Depending on how much you can tolerate Christian Slater, is how much you will enjoy this film. I went to see this at the movies, and even then when I were 14, there were points i wish i could have broken the fourth wall and slapped him.The mugging at the camera is an okay idea, and many of the demographic that this film is aimed at, would have found it fresh and quite endearing, as an actor was involving them in the movie and the plot.But thats my only gripe because the film is witty and part from the story, it's quite an original movie, with a good script. Slater is good as the titular characters, but like I said before, if you were not aged between the ages 13-18 in 1992, will find this film hard to like.Original parts of the movie are having profanity beeped, so the killer line will be funnier, having the bad guys clothing become a character in itself, and a running gag involving turkey cooking.Kuffs even has hi own 'Axel F' music.It's early nineties cheese and the type of movie you should watch with rose coloured specs, because watching the film nearly twenty years later, George Kuffs isn't the cool guy I once thought he was.Still a funny film though.

Never saw this movie during its commercial run, but we caught with it on cable recently. "Kuffs", directed by Bruce Evans, was a surprise we didn't expect. In fact, it appears not too many people saw it. The movie is a mixture of action and comedy, which might not sit well with a lot of people, but in fact, it holds our attention.Something the film shows didn't make sense to us. It seems that in San Francisco certain precincts charge ordinary citizens for its protection, something one has never heard of. In fact, at the center of the film, is how one criminal makes an offer to the young Kuffs, who has inherited the job from his slain brother. That is the only thing we didn't quite get.In the film, George Kuffs talks directly to the camera, taking the viewer into his confidence, which at the beginning feels strange, but after one gets over that, the film moves smoothly and one can see what the director intended. In the theater these moments are asides, and in the film it serves as George's way to explain what's going on in his mind.Christian Slater made a good contribution to the film, although it appears he never liked the finished product. Milla Jovovich plays Milla, but she is only seen at the beginning, middle and at the end of the film, which is strange, but that's the way her part was written. Also in the cast, Tony Goldwyn who has some excellent moments and George de la Pena who plays the heavy Sam Jones."Kuffs" is more rewarding than other films of this genre.
