Reviews

Roger Ebert wrote in the Chicago Sun-Times that the film was one of the " funniest " and " most intelligent " films of 1984. Drew Barrymore was the right choice for her role because she performed this role with " serious calm " (" grave calm ") ) games. It would have been a mistake if she tried to look weird. Ryan O'Neal is not one of Ebert's favorite actors, but he is the right person for his role and he plays the role well.

Georg Seeßlen wrote in his book Drew Barrymore that the film tells a “ childish emancipation story ” and was “ very sentimental ”.
