Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
In Landis' hands, the film doesn't live up to even the meagerest of expectations.
– Hal Hinson,
Washington Post,
1 Jan 2000
rotten:
The main pleasure in America comes in the romancing of prince and pauper. But the comedy is a mere handmaiden.
– Desson Thomson,
Washington Post,
1 Jan 2000
rotten:
A screenplay that seems to have escaped its doctors before it was entirely well.
– Vincent Canby,
New York Times,
20 May 2003
rotten:
Starts on a bathroom joke, quickly followed by a gag about private parts, then wanders in search of something equally original for Eddie Murphy to do for another couple of hours.

rotten:
The director is ... rather distracted; John Landis seems to be browsing through the scenes rather than gobbling them down.
