Rating:  - HOLOCAUST HUMOR FALLS FLAT
Trying to milk any kind of laughs from the Holocaust and the plight of a Nazi war criminal is questionable as it is, and the people behind this travesty didn't achieve any kind of success. The movie follows Dan Aykroyd (another one of his phoned in performances) who discovers he is living next door to a suspected escaped Nazi war criminal (Jack Lemmon, looking both tired and bored). When Lemmon tells Aykroyd he is going back to Ecuador to escape this so called fabrication, Aykroyd decides to take ... Read More
Rating:  - Look elsewhere for laughs.
Getting Away with Murder tells the story of Jack Lambert, a college ethics professor, who discovers that his neighbor may be a nazi war criminal. Dan Ackroyd is the professor and Jack Lemmon is the suspected war criminal. Ackroyd is known for being a funny man from his Saturday Night Live days and films such as The Blues Brothers. He is not funny in Getting Away with Murder. Viewers looking for humor in this film will be sadly disappointed.

I think there's two kinds of good movies. The kind that keep you interested and entertained while you're watching, but don't provoke much afterthought, and the kind that can be trying to the patience while you're watching, but leave more of an impression. Film buffs are generally only interested in the latter. This film is the former, and as someone with a short attention span who isn't looking at films as something that should change one's life, I found this film to be a very satisfying viewing experience. ...

Rating: - Good in itself.
this movie is well controlled and not aimed for a simple fun.
the storyline is interresting and satirizes a moralism in certain circumstances. this movie can be excellent if you possiblely don't have any preconception or image about the famous actors.
Rating: - i liked it even if no one else did
this movie is like a rear window comedy/drama/mystery if that is at all possible. Aykroyd really acted well in this along w/ the rest of the all star cast, lemon and tomlin. It is not the greatest movie on earth but one, in my opnion that is worth viewing. A lot of people didn't like this movie, I still found it entertaining and intriging but i guess it just isn't for every one. The mystery is top notch though, i really didn't c the end comming.
