Reviews


80
Washington Post - Unnamed
The movie benefits from a stylish, high-gloss look, a hit-filled soundtrack and up-to-the-minute dialogue (there's even a Korean shop-owner joke) that feels winningly off the cuff.
75
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
The real surprise of the movie is Eddie Murphy, who finds his character and stays with him.
70
Chicago Reader - Jonathan Rosenbaum
The general idea is to exploit a certain amount of role reversal, and Reginald Hudlin, who directed "House Party," does a fairly good job of making this fun.
63
TV Guide Magazine - Unnamed
More interesting than entertaining and too long by far.
60
Empire - Unnamed
This is cornily predictable stuff, but it raises itself on a number of counts, with Murphy's transformation from a self-assured cocksman to bewildered, lovesick drip being approached with greater gusto than might be expected.
