New York Times

Mr. Cage, once again sounding mock-suave and Elvisy, makes the most of his character's fragile cool.

Spirituality and Practice

Speaks to the universal human yearning for someone to watch over us.

We have seen it before: The movie throws together two individuals (Shirley Maclaine and Nicolas Cage) who could not have been more different and then shows us how they learn to respect each other.

Time Out

Cage is on best behaviour here, but he's not an especially sympathetic performer.

Kalamazoo Gazette

A fun idea, blandly executed

Washington Post

What counts is the comic tension between MacLaine and Cage. It's so well done, it doesn't matter how dumb things get.

Film4

Straightforward but enjoyable comedy that sees Cage and MacLaine going at it hammer and tongs -- although not in that sense.

Washington Post

Like the role itself, Cage is clearly in service here to a fabled but fading star, and he seldom slips on that second banana.

ReelViews

There are a few good jokes, some solid chemistry between the leads, and a little pathos, but it all doesn't add up to very much.

Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)

So-so sitcom-like star comedy.

TV Guide

Competently executed and entertaining, chiefly due to the first-rate performances of stars Cage and MacLaine.

Variety

The film is indeed likable. But director Hugh Wilson, who co-wrote the script with Peter Torokvei, just skims the surface of potentially rich territory.
