Reviews
Emanuel Levy wrote in Variety magazine on October 21, 1993 that Danny Aiello's "considerable talent " was wasted in this "trivial comedy adventure" . The children could like the film, but their parents would reject the image of the mindless and insensitive adult world. Aiello brings his "usual charm and authority" into the role.
Film-Dienst called the film a "crime thriller adventure" . The magazine TV Spielfilm 4/2008 described it as "meaningless" .
backgrounds
The film opened on October 22, 1993 in select cinemas in the United States. There he made about 60,000 US dollars .
