Entertainment Reviews:
...An easy, breezy romp of a movie, a low comedy of a highly entertaining order....The star is surrounded by a group of equally inventive and tireless supporting actors...

Rating: 2/5 --
Tepid Eddie Murphy political farce.

Rating: 2/4 --
This is screwball material, and Murphy, with his quick delivery, is ideal for a laughaminute roller coaster, but director Jonathan Lynn seems to stretch out the scenes instead of hurrying them along.

Chicago Sun-Times
This lightweight political sitcom takes awkward narrative jumps and sags in the middle...despite some taut byplay between Lane Smith and Joe Don Baker, the outcome is too obvious to be gratifying.

An OK Murphy vehicle, but still the same old hip black guy smarter than the white men routine.
