Biggest Swing

The film drops significantly when Madonna's performance becomes central in the early scenes, then recovers slightly during the more visually creative rooftop sequence.

Critics consistently panned Madonna's performance as forced and grating, praising Griffin Dunne's efforts to hold the film together. While some found moments of charm in the screwball comedy homage, most dismissed it as a failed vehicle that diminished rather than showcased Madonna's talents. The film struggles throughout with weak direction and poor chemistry between leads.
