The New York Times -
Smoothly directed and acted with glee... showing quick-witted comic spirit.

L.A. Weekly -
A terrifically clever film; has a soft-boilded heart.
|
|
Rolling Stone -
Inspired funny business that allows Martin to hilariously torpedo Hollywood's corrupt heart.

|
San Francisco Examiner -
Priceless enough to flush "Metro," "Dr. Dolittle" and "Holy Man" from memory.

Variety -
So lunatic that it creates as much puzzled disbelief as it does carefree delight.
