Reviews

  • Hal Hinson wrote in the Washington Post on July 18, 1992, the insignificance is something you would not expect from a film with Jack Nicholson. The participation of Beverly D' Angelo, Paul Mazursky, Saul Rubinek and Harry Dean Stanton would be expected a different result. The film is original and still bad, what Hinson holds for mysterious. The chemistry between Jack Nicholson and Ellen Barkin disagree.
  • Lexicon of international film: Despite some silliness mostly amusing comedy with two brilliant protagonists who play their roles on the verge of self-parody.
