Description:
Watch all the fireworks as Elliott Gould and Bill Cosby star in Disney's delightfully devilish adventure -- new on DVD. When ruthless landlord Max Devlin (Gould) is struck by a bus, he meets a diabolical 'soul manager' with an offer he can't refuse. Max can return to life on earth if he can convince three innocent people to sign their souls over to the devil within two months. In a riotous race against time, all his targets have other ideas. Featuring the music of Marvin Hamlisch, and introducing talented songstress Julie Budd, this is a magical, romantic comedy the whole family will enjoy.

Give this movie a try, you'll be glad you did. Bill Cosby and Elliot Gould are great together! The plot might sound a little weird, but the movie works! This is an unknown classic!
Rating: - Oh Cos You Devil
The 1980's were not Disney heyday for films. However this devil of a film was cute for the 1980'a.
Bill Cosby is a soul Arranger who give a recently dead Max Devlin (Elliot Gould) a chance to return to earth. His assignment for two months to get three innocent souls to sell their souls.

The 80's movies, Horror, Comedy and of course Disney was high camp and over the top cheese. If you approach this movie that way then it is a 5!

Rating: - the devil and max devlin
This is not actually a review. I love the movie, have it on vhs and would like to get the dvd. However, it doesn't appear to be closed-caption. Any suggestions?
Rating: - I Don't Care What They Say...I Liked It!!
I've read the other reviews of this movie and I'm surprised they're so negative! While I'll admit that it's a little long and that, although I love Julie Budd, they play her big "hit song" about to death, overall I though it was great and had a great lesson or two in there...you just have to look a bit below the surface to find the powerful ones. (i.e., if you accept the devil's terms, you've already lost) I'll stop there for fear of giving too much away.
I think this movie is funny, entertaining ... Read More
