"A wonderfully crafted, absolutely charming remake" | ||||
"Sometimes its leisurely pace veers dangerously close to slackness. But it's as close as Hollywood comedy comes to chamber music." | ||||
"Steve Martin does his schtik to perfection and Michael Caine unveils some adroit comic timing in this charming but mediocre comedy." | ||||

"Mr. Caine and Mr. Martin work together with an exuberant ease that's a joy to watch." |
