Like the only thing that really bothers me about this movie:

When Louis is released from prison, his bank has frozen his accounts, his credit cards are seized, and he is lower than low. He shows up at his door and Coleman acts like he doesn't know him. Louis just leaves.

Um no. I'm busting through that door and holding his ear to a stove until he talks.

Of course, we wouldn't have a movie then.

Favorite part is when Billy Ray is hosting a party and he's already too good for his old type of crowd.

Are you Louis? That is clearly something that Louis wouldn't do. At all. Until he was driven to his absolute breaking point.

The commodities scene is one of the best fourth wall demolitions ever.

This was a brilliant explanation, and funny, too.

Randolph Duke: Good, William! Now, some of our clients are speculating that the price of gold will rise in the future. And we have other clients who are speculating that the price of gold will fall. They place their orders with us, and we buy or sell their gold for them.

Mortimer Duke: Tell him the good part.

Randolph Duke: The good part, William, is that, no matter whether our clients make money or lose money, Duke & Duke get the commissions.

Mortimer Duke: Well? What do you think, Valentine?

Billy Ray: Sounds to me like you guys a couple of bookies.

Randolph Duke: [chuckling, patting Billy Ray on the back] I told you he'd understand.

It's one of those movies that's not really a Christmas movie, but I always end up watching it at Christmas time. Solid 80's flick for sure.

Could never be made today. A movie that goes into detail about high finance but also has a character raped by a gorilla.

It is a top 5 comedy.

Like bacon, like what you might find in a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich.

Yeah, I don't agree with that at that point. He might have done that in the mental state he later reaches but he's afraid of going back to jail with no one to bail him out. His response to the threat of calling the police was pretty rational. He also simply lacks the force to bust through that front door.

Later in the movie you see him crack in the fashion you seem to already expect.

I love the movie. It is as good as any other comedy ever made IMO.
