Critic Reviews
-
Richard Schickel, TIME Magazine
Murray, with his curious blend of pathos and aggressiveness, is terrific, and so is an acutely uptight Dreyfuss, never once copping a plea for our sympathy.
-
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
This cruel but effective black comedy violates credibility at almost every turn, but the concept itself is so strong hat it winds up working pretty well anyway.
-
, Variety
Bill Murray finds a real showcase for his oft-shackled talent in this manic comedy.
-
Janet Maslin, New York Times
Somehow, Mr. Dreyfuss maintains his sound comic timing even when Frank Oz's antic direction calls for hand-waving hysteria.
-
Desson Thomson, Washington Post
With his twisted lower lip, doleful eyes and trademark deadpan, [Murray] exudes an awkward -- and funny -- vulnerability.
