Truly a lightweight film with some funny scenes. Grodin and Deniro are very good together. An entertaining movie if you don't expect too much.

It was watchable but that was about it and I can only take Charles Grodin in small amounts.

The people contributing their reviews to this website are very generous to allow this mediocre movie to join the ranks of Austin Powers and Spinal Tap.

It was nice to see Robert Deniro play something besides a heavy, and I think he has a knack for comedy. Charles Grodin can be funny when he wants to be, and he does a good job on this film. The good guy/bad guy interraction between the two is what makes it funny.

One of the all time great comedies and feel good films! Great chemistry between De Niro and Grodin, funny dialogues, and action packed with a brilliant score too! Absolutely brilliant movie.

In terms of dry humor, this may be the best comedy ever made.

DeNiro and Grodin, by themselves, aren't exactly the epitome of "funny" in my book. And I don't really associate the two of them together--they tend to specialize in two completely different genres. But these guys together in "Midnight Run" are flat-out hilarious. Some of the lines stick out in my mind years later. Not bad for a rainy weekend, or when you've exhausted all the new releases you care to see.

Comedies are my favorite and I put this one on top five list. DeNiro and Grodin did an excellent job together on this outlandishly hilarious film. All of the actors were perfectly chosen. If you like a movie with lots of action and plenty of laughs I highly reccomend it!

DeNiro's only good comedy.

Charles Grodin is on the same level as Jesus in terms of raw talent.

This is a great movie. The cast of characters ranging from the FBI agent, DeNiro's fellow bounty hunters and the mobsters are extremely funny and the dialogue is perfect for the fast-paced, hilarous comedy. One of my favorites.

Love this movie, the chemistry between Deniro and Grodin is great. It's funny, action packed, and the ending couldn't have been better. This one's in my collection. Rent it.

Charles Grodin is one of my favorite actors! This is easily his best role.

This movie is completely driven by the relationship between Robert DeNiro and Charles Grodin, and the two make a great team. In most cases DeNiro plays the straight man, with Grodin using his typical dry, deadpan wit to play off DeNiro's more serious character. I thought Grodin was funny in "Seems Like Old Times" as the uptight husband of Goldie Hawn, but this movie really made me a fan - he's got some classic lines and his sarcastic delivery is perfect.

This is a really good, bordering on great movie. The world knows that DeNiro is a great actor, but he is usually remembered for his roles in Godfather II, Good Fellas, Raging Bull, and others. In Midnight Run, he really showed his great versatility and tremendous comedic range. He and Charles Grodin are both wonderful. Given that they have only teamed up for this picture, their chemistry is impressive. I definitely recommend this movie.

A great little movie. What makes this film is the chemistry which DeNiro and Charles Grodin develop during their wild cross country trip. Midnight Run is funny, touching, and well-acted.
