Doug is a Secret Service Agent who has just completed his stint in charge protecting Tess Carlisle—the widow of a former U.S. President, and a close personal friend of the current President. He finds that she has requested that he not be rotated but instead return to be her permanent detail. Doug is crushed, and—after returning—wants off her detail as she is very difficult to guard and makes her detail crazy with her whims and demands.

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
What counts is the comic tension between MacLaine and Cage. It's so well done, it doesn't matter how dumb things get.
– Desson Thomson,
Washington Post,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
Like the role itself, Cage is clearly in service here to a fabled but fading star, and he seldom slips on that second banana.
– Richard Harrington,
Washington Post,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
Mr. Cage, once again sounding mock-suave and Elvisy, makes the most of his character's fragile cool.
– Janet Maslin,
New York Times,
20 May 2003
rotten:
Cage is on best behaviour here, but he's not an especially sympathetic performer.
– Derek Adams,
Time Out,
24 Jun 2006
rotten:
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.
– Leonard Klady,
