Phil L @Fairlighter 05/11/2025 I enjoyed it. The film is fun with Falk in good form along with Durning. Wendy Hughes is perfect in her role and there are enough laughs and clever moments to make it worthwhile. Overall it is a low key film with some really nice performances. See more Steve D @RT35616104 09/03/2023 Nothing about it really worked. See more 09/30/2007 Good but still disappointing remake of the much better French film of the same title. Still, it's entertaining and fun to watch. Peter Falk does an exceptional job and his performace is an assett to the film. See more Read all reviews
