Critic Reviews

  • Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

    This unspeakably awful can make an audience a little crazy. You want to throw things, yell at the actors, beg them to stop.

  • Joe Brown, Washington Post

    To say this megamillion Bruce Willis vehicle doesn't fly is understatement in the extreme.

  • Hal Hinson, Washington Post

    A crafty satire, but with a swashbuckling soul.

  • Brian Orndorf, BrianOrndorf.com

    There was a brief time when a new Michael Lehmann film meant something positive. I know, hard to believe.

  • Brian Orndorf, DVDTalk.com

    A delightfully outlandish vanity film, capable of eliciting giggles, groans, guffaws, and gagging frequently in the same fanciful instant.

    It wasn't all my cup of tea, but Bruce singing out show tunes was pretty freakin' hilarious.

  • Tim S


    Most people shit on this movie, but I think it's pretty entertaining. Bruce Willis and Danny Aeillo are a pretty good team and usually I think Andie McDowell is just a pretty face, but here it seems like she actually has a personality. There is a lot to hate, even loathe, but… More
