Reviews

Washington Post -
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.

Chicago Sun-Times -
The real surprise of the movie is Eddie Murphy, who finds his character and stays with him.

|
Chicago Reader -
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.

TV Guide Magazine -
More interesting than entertaining and too long by far.

|
Empire -
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.
