It's hideously unfunny, falling well beneath the capabilities of everyone involved...Ross isn't building a comedy here, he's trying to survive one.

The contrived plot is a bit gooey.

One of Steve Martin's most memorably amusing performances.

A pretty good comedy film. It drags a bit in the middle, but it's very entertaining. Steve Martin is actually good as an Italian, or at least in this film. I love Joan Cusack and Rick Moranis...not sure how I feel about them together though. Overall, a pretty good comedy movie full of genuine laughs. I recommend it!

A fantastic cast in this movie. The story isn't very unique, but it's interesting enough. Overall, it's funny, and entertaining.
