I rewatched this film last night and I could not stop laughing. One of the funniest movies ever. So many iconic one-liners(“I got kidnapped by k-mart!”) and such a fantastic cast. Watch if you want to see a HILARIOUS 80s classic. Peak Bette Midler and Danny DeVito!!

I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who has also seen this lol but it’s so fun! Danny Devito, Bette Midler, the beautiful Helen Slater. It’s the kind of fun 80’s movie that the theme song sings the title of the movie.

I was so incredibly delighted by 'Jewel Robbery' that immediately after, in the span of 3 days, I have watched 4 other films starring these 2 (that being William Powell and Kay Francis) (+ 2 other 1930s comedies of a similar type [yes, I have a lot of free evenings this week lol])!
I hope that quickly conveys just how fun a watch this is! How charming the performances, how lovely the costumes, how silly the premise and how wonderfully committed the film is to it! It does exactly what it needs to and dares to do nothing else unnecessary!
If you haven't gotten into old movies I think this one might just do the trick!
If we're gonna live in a hellscape echo of the 30's we might as well marvel at the movies they made, and get a good dose of empathy for all those who watched this in the theater back then.
(S/O to the director btw, who helped people flee Germany!)

sometimes you think you’re in a really bad mood, but then you have a glass of water and BAM! you see the glass half full (lol). my point is something as simple as having a glass of water, a snack or taking a shower can fix your mood almost ENTIRELY. it’s really amazing what the small things in life can do
