Baldwin’s scenes with Broderick crackle because we see Joe being drawn in by Steven’s loser dreams.

It's got some really solid actors and even a fairly amusing premise ... so where are all the laughs?

Divertido em seu humor ingênuo e inofensivo, conquista principalmente graças ao carisma da dupla principal.

The story tries to make up for its lack of laughs by offering a series of quirky characters and bizarre moments, a tactic that works for a while but runs out of steam....

A silly movie that never for a minute tries to be anything else...it doesn't require anything from its audience but to laugh and enjoy the show.

Match the right actors to right roles, and it doesn't always matter when a movie misses its potential.
