  • Eric Meyerson, Filmcritic.com

    Don't expect too much more from this film than a few chuckles and a soundtrack which mixes some delectable reggae and rock music.

  • Ken Hanke, Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)

    The most embarassing movie Peter O'Toole ever graced.

    Funny cast, bad movie.

  • AJ V


    Yes, this movie has a ton of great stars, but what're they doing in this movie? Not much. The story is predictable and sometimes boring. Overall, it's just okay.

    Another pointless Robin Williams vehicle that feels like an overlong and rather weak sitcom witha parade of uninteresting guest stars. Dull.
