Reviews
Roger Ebert wrote in the Chicago Sun-Times of 16 August 1991, the film was an " imbecile " ( " moronic ") comedy that as an exercise in writing television sitcoms am working. Only the energy of the representations save him from being a " waste ". It is one of the films with an unbelievable starting point that viewers are waiting for the scriptwriters to fix the situation. The characters are not credible; the comedy is manipulative and absurd.
