  Yes, do
  
  Charming in all the right places. It's an unusual role for Bill (who plays a keen, friendly neurotic), and one that makes great viewing. Highly recommended

  Great cast making best of a so-so script
  
  Overall, this is an enjoyable movie. If you want a non-challenging film to chuckle at on a Saturday night, you could do worse.

  excellent
  
  Very good comedy, with Murrey on top form and Dreyfuss slowly going mad.

  Boring, lame, and a waste of time
  
  This film has to be one of Bill Murray's worst movies. It allowed absolutely no space for Murray to showcase his wide range of talents and humour.

  Two of Americas best comic actors
  
  This is a charming comedy greatly assisted by fine performances of, in my opinion, two of Americas best comic actors, Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfus.
