Critics Sentiment
Richard plays violin while Morris notices surveillance activity
Morris believes he's going mad from surveillance glimpses
The film peaks during the orchestra scenes with Belushi's comedic performance, then drops sharply as Morris's paranoia storyline creates a surprisingly bleak and melancholic tone.
Critics found this remake of a French comedy to be a mixed bag that never quite found its comedic footing. While the ensemble cast, particularly James Belushi and Dabney Coleman, earned praise, most reviewers felt the film suffered from weak execution of promising setups and an oddly uneven tone. The bicycle chase finale provided some redemption, but overall the film was seen as an inferior retread that wasted its talented cast.
