I thought that "The Survivors" was very funny, not as good as "Meaning of Life" of course, but still very enjoyable. Robin William's nervous breakdown is very realistic, according to an anonymous friend who's had one, the characters are believable and well-portrayed, and the jokes are mostly well-timed and humorous. My only two real objections are (1) Walter Matthau wasn't used enough in the latter part of the film (2) some of the jokes were very predictable. Neither of these were serious problems, though. ==================================== The overworked keyboard of Tim Maroney duke!unc!tim (USENET) tim.unc@udel-relay (ARPA) The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
