Critic Reviews

  • James Plath, Movie Metropolis

    Lightweight but fun civilian-spy stuff.

  • Alex Sandell, Juicy Cerebellum

    Good concept. Horrible movie.

  • Ken Hanke, Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)

    Still Penny Marshall's least annoying movie

  • James Sanford, Kalamazoo Gazette

    doesn't fully capitalize on Whoopi's comedic gifts

    A Hitchcock plot, that is very good. But the screenplay don't help. Too silly to be good.

  • Lenny M


    Whoopi!! Not really that funny. She needs eyebrows.

  • Lady D


    A fun spy comedy, with a typical 80?s feel to it. Whoopi Goldberg is her usual overtalking fun self and the film makes for easy watching.

  • Cindy I


    I figure if I saw a film and the only thing I remember about it was that I saw it, I couldn't have been very impressed.

  • Jason S


    Whoopi is funny in this flick which is funny but really close to being an action flick.
