Stick Around (film)

Stick Around is a 1992 American comedy film directed by Francis Megahy and starring Dennis Dugan, Margot Kidder, and Brian Dennehy.

The plot centers around Ernie Critzke (Dugan), a man who falls into a construction pit and is cryogenically frozen for thirty years. He is revived in the 1990s and struggles to adjust to the modern world. Complicating matters is Webster (Dennehy), a corrupt city official who fears that Ernie's knowledge of past events could expose his wrongdoings. Ernie is aided by Grace (Kidder), a woman who takes pity on him and helps him navigate his new life.

Stick Around is generally considered a lighthearted and family-friendly comedy, relying heavily on slapstick humor and fish-out-of-water scenarios. It received mostly negative reviews upon its release and was not a significant box office success. The film is remembered primarily for its cast and its portrayal of a man adjusting to drastic technological and social changes after a long period of suspended animation.
