Chicago Sun-Times -
MacLaine and Cage are really very good here.

Entertainment Weekly -
There are no big thrills, only gentle laughs in this light story by Hugh Wilson and Peter Torokvei (Wilson also directed).

|
Washington Post -
What counts is the comic tension between MacLaine and Cage. It's so well done, it doesn't matter how dumb things get.

Los Angeles Times -
While it's understandable that it was thought that Tess needed something more, that it couldn't go on merely being clever and fragile, this solution goes too far in the opposite direction. [11Mar1994 Pg. F9]

Austin Chronicle -
There are lots of laughs in this picture, and though at one point he teeters perilously on the brink of mush and gush, Wilson manages to regain his gently caustic comic footing.
