Reviews
James Berardinelli wrote on ReelViews that the film was a "formulaic romantic comedy" that did not have the "decency" to offer any chemistry between the participants. The story of the reconciliation of Lilly Leonard and Dan De Mora is not enough to support the film. The arguments between the two would appear “forced” and “mechanical”; the sex scenes - "embarrassing" ("awkward"). Dennis Farina and Bette Midler could still have been "very good" in their roles if the script hadn't restricted them.
Ruthe Stein wrote in the San Francisco Chronicle of April 4, 1997 that the exaggerated portrayal of Bette Midler turned the film into a "feverish" comedy; sometimes too feverish to be funny. The script lacks the charm that could compensate for that.
The lexicon of international films said: “A staid, largely pointless comedy. That love is given preference over bourgeois reason is shown without accuracy. "
background
