Speaks to the universal human yearning for someone to watch over us.

Competently executed and entertaining, chiefly due to the first-rate performances of stars Cage and MacLaine.

Mr. Cage, once again sounding mock-suave and Elvisy, makes the most of his character's fragile cool.

So-so sitcom-like star comedy.

Like the role itself, Cage is clearly in service here to a fabled but fading star, and he seldom slips on that second banana.

The film is indeed likable. But director Hugh Wilson, who co-wrote the script with Peter Torokvei, just skims the surface of potentially rich territory.

Straightforward but enjoyable comedy that sees Cage and MacLaine going at it hammer and tongs -- although not in that sense.

A fun idea, blandly executed

Cage is on best behaviour here, but he's not an especially sympathetic performer.

What counts is the comic tension between MacLaine and Cage. It's so well done, it doesn't matter how dumb things get.
