What really makes this worth seeing is Cage's outrageously unbridled performance.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

The film is dominated and destroyed by Mr. Cage's chaotic, self-indulgent performance.

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Rotten
You're not exactly sure if the material is meant to be funny or is laughable merely by default.
Hal Hinson, Washington Post
