one o my favorites, cast is dead on. seems to be a reasonable tale. great performances by all . i have watched it several times, never gets old.... nds me of of old time movies, average guy finally has his day. great innocent fun Full Review
Every time I watch this movie, I appreciate the humor more and more. After I'd seen it 5 or more times I finally just went and bought my own copy.... I can't take a trip to Vegas without thinking about this flik:) \"I'm having a VERY good day\"......Love it. Full Review
Buster Poindexter, Jennifer tTilly Teri Garr, Cynthia Nixon with braces, the entire cast especially the charecter actors make this a classic. Dreyfus... is perfect as Trotter. Fun, I am going to wathc it again now. Full Review
This is one of the greatest movies of all time. My favorite. Richard Dryfus plays his role perfectly. The characters are great. For all horse... yers and gamblers. Come to think of it, it's a great movie for everyone because if you don't come away after seeing this movie with a feel good feeling and laughing, through it all, then there is something wrong you my friend! Remember "He Is Having A Very Good Day!" Full Review
Now I know why I don't read reviews or polls...I am 63 years old, have been going to the track since a teen...this is the only movie that truly... cts the reality and ambience of the horseplayers experience...not perfect, but a true player can relate to the plot. Bet these reviewers have never spent a day at the track..how can you review something you have no knowledge about? Full Review

Let It Ride looks good in a low-key way, and Giorgio Moroder's eclectic, funky mood-setting score is crucial in helping maintain tone as well as pace. [21 Aug 1989]Full Review
Joe Pytka does display an occasional nice touch with mood and atmosphere - at its infrequent best, the humor here is almost wry. But his editing is as jumpy as a mare in heat. [19 Aug 1989]Full Review
Let It Ride has atmosphere, plus a good setting, appealing actors - and a bad script. [19 Aug 1989]Full Review
The major irritant is the hyperactive direction by Joe Pytka, a near-legendary helmer of TV commercials who films each scene as if it were the last, with everybody in the frame strenuously choreographed and overly busy.Full Review
Pytka may know how to push fizzy water, but he certainly can't make a punch line sparkle. [21 Aug 1989]Full Review
