It is an easy Disney-type comedy.

Nothing special, it never got me excited but at the same time it kept me interested enough for 90ish minutes. Thought it was an interesting story but I read that the cowriter intended this movie to be made by Hammer studio and I do think it would have been better as a horror movie.

I'd recommend 'The Devil and Max Devlin'. Of course it is slightly hampered by the fact it's a Disney film, but I feel it manages to leave a mark in what it does tackle in regards to the premise. I felt attached to the dilemma that Max (Elliott Gould) faces, despite it being a fairly predictable situation. Gould is good in the lead role. He is joined by, um, Bill Cosby, who suitably plays a character from the less appealing afterlife. Julie Budd (Stella) is the best of the rest, especially when it comes to the music; she's got a great voice. Disney's best film up until this point of the 1980s, which they begin poorly. Happy with this one though, I like it.

This was a decent, Disney (to add More
