So much average

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Beautiful, moving film.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

It's not a good movie and if things like a person being able to levitate a table because he's a psychic bother you, then you might find this annoying, but it's actually a cute buddy comedy and Stuart Panking is an overly nice guy sticking up for his gifted but doesn't always fit in friend played brilliantly by Bronson Pinchot. Playing foil to the two buddies is talented John Laroquette who plays their grumpy boss.The story gets old by the end but the first hour or so of the Movie is fresh and silly and carried by the actors, Bronson especially.

Granted in 1989 there were not too many advances in special effects and the movie was indeed low budget, but there was always the underlining humor throughout the entire movie. Numberous funny one liners were delivered by John Larroquette were done so with just the right attitude and degree of seriousness to make the line that much funnier. I disagree with everyone who says that the movie was borish and unfunny, you must look deeper into the lines delivered then just the surface humor and slapstick. This movie to this day remains one of my all time favorites. If they ever released it on DVD I would be first in line to buy a copy.

This movie was not great, but okay. The special effects seem to do alright. But Bronson Pinchot as the psychic Bobby, does a serious amount of over acting thats not even funny. The way he does it, he looks like he did over a dozen takes. And Stuart Pankin's character Preston who is Bobby's care taker, is such an idiot, you were waiting for somebody to smack him upside his head. Seems it is John Larroquette is the only one who is funny as the uptight and cynical detective Wills. His funny performance saves the movie from extermination. Bess Armstrong seems to hold her own, has the nun who is helping them on the case. An alright film.

I'll keep this short. I've seen thousands of movies and this is the only one that I have EVER walked out on. It's that bad.
