NYC custodian Daryll Deever is a big fan of local news reporter Tony Sokolow, so he is intrigued when she shows up to cover a story at his workplace. There's been a murder in the office building, and Tony suspects that Daryll may have insight into the crime, a notion that he furthers to stay close to her. However, when those behind the killing begin to think that he really knows something, they target the pair to keep their secrets hidden.

Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
The story gets more and more strained before it's resolved.

fresh:
Every scene develops characters. And they're developed in such offbeat fidelity to the way people do behave that we get all the more involved in the mystery, just because, for once, we halfway believe it could really be happening.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
23 Oct 2004
fresh:
A thoroughly delightful but far from plausible mystery melodrama that operates exclusively on high spirits and a no-nonsense intelligence that is never sidetracked by coherence.
– Vincent Canby,

fresh:
An enjoyable entertainment whose box-office failure was thoroughly undeserved.
