Nicholson plays Harry Bliss, a small potatoes security expert unhappily married to a Japanese woman (he sarcastically calls her Iwo Jima during therapy sessions). Harry's life is coming apart at the seams -- not only is his marriage on the rocks, but the IRS and assorted creditors are nipping at his heels. Then opera singer Joan Spruance (Ellen Barkin) contacts him. It seems she wants Harry's help in obtaining an attack dog for her apartment, since an unknown person has been burglarizing her home and attacking her with an ax. Needless to say, Harry and Joan fall in love. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
This romantic comedy is a bow wow.
-
Beth Accomando, KPBS.org
A sad reunion for director Bob Rafelson and actor Jack Nicholson, considering their brilliant collaboration on Five Easy Pieces.
-
Dan Lybarger, Nitrate Online
A forgetable romantic comedy where Nicholson tries to coast on his bad boy charm.
-
Clint Morris, Moviehole
Damn it. Damn it to hell!
