Reviews
"Largely entertaining, rather infantile agent film for adults, which disguises its slowness and some silly derailment by a well-disposed cast of actors."
“What was intended as a turbulent comedy is less convincing because of the confused and completely implausible story than because of the actors. Albert Brooks and Michael Douglas in particular are able to save at least a bit of the over-the-top slapstick. "
