Reviews
Vincent Canby scoffed in the New York Times on June 7, 1985 that the film was the " absolute, idiotic " end of the new subgenre of films about journalism that Alan J. Pakula had justified with The Untouchables . He offers an " unintentionally comical mixture of confused moralizing " and self-expression. The " screen persona " by Jamie Lee Curtis was similarly " strong " as her body ( " Miss Curtis's screen personality is as strong and striking as body forth ").
The lexicon of international films wrote that the film adorned itself " with socially critical motifs from political crime, without consistently maintaining this claim ". He was “ rather simple ” “ despite good camera work and a convincing leading actress ” and practiced “ exactly what he allegedly denounces: the sensational look into the human intimate sphere ”.
Awards
The film was nominated three times for the Golden Raspberry ridiculous award in 1986: John Travolta (worst actor), Marilu Henner (worst supporting actress), Aaron Latham and James Bridges (worst script).
