Reviews
- Roger Ebert wrote that the film is strange and magical. The dialogues are typical of the Allen movies. Numerous supporting roles were filled with stars. (Source)
- Filmdienst 4/1991: Very amusing, but sensitive in dealing with the issues of loyalty and self-fulfillment comedy, played spotless and safe staged. By ironic distancing familiar stereotypes can be broken.
