Reviews

James Berardinelli wrote on ReelViews, the comedy was too sweet. It was not funny or well written. Adam Sandler WOULD surprisingly tame.

Roger Ebert wrote in the Chicago Sun - Times of 13 February 1998, the script acts like a collaboration of Jekyll and Hyde. The plot WOULD familiar. Adam Sandler was unfit for a leading role. Ebert praised only on a small part of Steve Buscemi.
