Finders Keepers is a 1984 American comedy film directed by Richard Lester, and starring Michael O'Keefe, Beverly D'Angelo, Brian Dennehy, Louis Gossett Jr. and Jim Carrey.

Michael escapes by disguising himself in a U.S. Army uniform at the Oakland, California, train station, where two military officials assume he is accompanying the coffin.

In the meantime, Sirola, who was forced off the train earlier, learns about the hero's burial on television and travels to High River to retrieve the money.

Terence Marsh wanted to make his directorial debut on the film but understood that the project would have a better chance with an experienced director and instead hired Richard Lester to direct.

Warner Bros. insisted on Dudley Moore for the lead, but the Marshes and Lester's concept for the film was that the story was an ensemble cast, rather than a star vehicle.

[2][1] James Monaco reviewed the film in his book, The Movie Guide, writing "a crazy, quirky comedy from director Lester that starts slowly and warms up to provide some funny moments.

[5] In The New York Times review of the movie, Vincent Canby wrote that "Finders Keepers,...has a lot of charm best described as loose jointed.

[8] David Laubach in his review printed in the Valley Advocate Springfield said it "is a genuine cockeyed comedy" and added that "parts of Finder, Keepers are exceptionally superior to its whole, but Lester keeps things rolling so well, we hardly notice".

[10] Richard Freedman in his review published in The Montana Standard found the film to be "wonderfully wacky" and concluded that "a movie consisting almost entirely of pratfalls and sight gags can wear you down after a while, but everybody involved in Finders Keepers ensures, that this is one comedy that makes nobody in the audience a loser or a weeper.
