Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
This could be Bob Hope material c1942 and Chase does acquit himself well (though with cool reserve) in the gags-to-plot transitions. What dulls the enterprise is that Ritchie so keeps his distance from every character.

fresh:
A lightweight, breezy experience that, by never pretending to be anything more than what it is, disarms criticism.

rotten:
Whenever the move threatens to work, there's Chevy Chase with his monotone, deadpan cynicism, distancing himself from the material.

fresh:
Michael Ritchie's 1985 mystery comedy has the pleasant, modest feel of a Fox B picture from the 30s.

fresh:
A breezy, peppy frolic and a tour de force for Chase.
