MAN TROUBLE, the fifth collaboration between Jack Nicholson and director Bob Rafelson, is a comical thriller. Nicholson plays Harry Bliss, who runs a guard dog service and is going through counseling with his wife, Adele (Lauren Tom). A serial killer is on the loose in Los Angeles, and when the apartment of classical singer Joan Spruance (Ellen Barkin) is ransacked and she starts receiving threatening phone messages, Joan moves into the Hollywood Hills home of her sister, Andy (Beverly D'Angelo). However, Joan doesn't feel safe there either, because she's harassed by Andy's ex-lovers. So Joan hires a guard dog from Harry's company, and soon Harry is providing more than protection for the beautiful singer. (jakelijan virallinen teksti)

A very average comedy that suffers from a scattered screenplay. The screenwriter resembles a dog chasing a group of rabbits and always changing direction after a few meters. None of the motifs are satisfactorily fulfilled and the presence of some actors, like Harry Dean Stanton, downright sabotages their talent and potential. The whole thing is ultimately carried by the central acting duo, where Jack Nicholson naturally dominates. Without him, user ratings would be much more reserved. Overall impression: 45%.
