Very funny, early Steve Martin comedy. Has some great bits including a gag with spary-on sweat and another with cardboard stand-ups doubling as friends for lonely guys. Not Martin's funniest film, but it's up there.

Alternando o besteirol e a comédia de situações, o filme é consistentemente engraçado e surpreendentemente sensível. Um dos melhores da carreira de Steve Martin.

A mindless comedy that's about as funny as a life sentence in solitary confinement.

Martin and pathos just don't mix.

Arthur Hiller's direction exudes a flavorless professionalism, a quality that doesn't count for much in this context.

It tries a little bit of everything, and winds up with an air of messy desperation.

Top CriticThe least satisfying of Steve Martin's early movies.

The kind of movie that seems to have been made to play in empty theaters on overcast January afternoons.
