This cruel but effective black comedy violates credibility at almost every turn, but the concept itself is so strong hat it winds up working pretty well anyway.

A modern-day comedy in the grand tradition of the best screwball comedies of the late 1930s and early 40s.

Bill Murray finds a real showcase for his oft-shackled talent in this manic comedy.

A delightful annoying-person comedy made even more amusing by the fact that Murray and Dreyfuss couldn't stand one another in real life.

With Dreyfuss and Murray on top form, not even the familiar plotline -- uptight rich person meets free-wheeling poor person and learns about life -- can prevent this lunatic comedy from being funny.

Dreyfuss e Murray estabelecem uma boa dinâmica nesta comédia irregular, mas agradável.
