Martin's trademark wacky humor is fitfully in evidence, but seems much more repressed than usual in order to fit into the relatively realistic world of single working people. Full Review |

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

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

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

An inventive comic meditation on being single. Full Review |

5/5 |
Alternando o besteirol e a comédia de situações, o filme é consistentemente engraçado e surpreendentemente sensível. Um dos melhores da carreira de Steve Martin.

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.
