Here's an oft-mentioned '80s movie that I've only just now gotten around to. And I say that because I feel badly about letting 30 years go by without giving it a shot.
Schwarzenegger and DeVito are great choices for these roles. The movie has a great concept to start with, but they play well opposite each other and add to the film's overall likability. DeVito is a natural for this part, but it's surprising to see that Schwarzenegger's gift for comedy was present so early in his career. Maybe that's why I liked this so much; it rests in capable hands. But there's a warmth to this movie that's inescapable. It's a solid comedy.
