The 1988 comedy "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" from writers Dale Launer, Stanley Shapiro and Paul Henning is certainly a late 1980s classic comedy. And it is one of those types of comedies that you can watch again and again.
And that is made possible not only because the writers managed to compile a wholesome and entertaining story, nay, it is also because of some stellar performances by the cast in the movie. With the likes of Steve Martin, Michael Caine and Glenne Headly by the helm, then you are in for a great movie, and they really carry the movie quite well.
The story told in "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" is funny and well-written, as the narrative is great and the movie actually has a twist to it. And there is an abundance of comedy throughout the movie, which the cast delivers phenomenally well. And also the character gallery and the dialogue in the movie was just well-written.
I have enjoyed "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" a handful of times since 1988, and it is a movie that definitely has enough contents to it to support more than just a single viewing.
My rating of director Frank Oz's 1988 comedy "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" lands on a well-deserved seven out of ten stars.
