Reviews
Roger Ebert wrote in the Chicago Sun-Times of January 30, 1987 that the film was too busy mixing genres. The plot contains - as in many failed scripts - too many clichés such as CIA, Russians and car chases.
The lexicon of international films wrote that the film was a "peppy, sometimes somewhat crude comedy that parodies the agent film genre with lots of action and original gags". He captivates "above all with a careful book and the irresistible game of the two dissimilar leading actresses".
