Critic Reviews
-
Lisa Alspector, Chicago Reader
It may not be earthshaking, but this calmly competent feel-good movie shows that a little sincerity can go a long way.
-
Leonard Klady, Variety
The material lacks a biting edge.
-
Gary Dauphin, Village Voice
Not even Eddie can save this ill-conceived mess of a movie.
-
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
This screenplay was in no shape to be filmed; perhaps the filmmakers assumed that the mere presence of Eddie Murphy would repair its wrongs and give them a big opening weekend.
-
Janet Maslin, New York Times
The film never really explains where G came from or where he's going.
