---|---|---|---|
United States | Chicago Sun-Times | "A disposable entertainment, redeemed by silliness, exaggeration, and Chan's skill and charm. I would not want to see it twice, but I liked seeing it once." | NEU |
United States | San Francisco Chronicle | "The best of Jackie Chan's American movies, a pleasant little action comedy" | POS |
United States | New York Post | "Given the complete lack of chemistry between Chan and Forlani, their rather awkward lip-lock isn't worth $10 to see. Sadly, neither is anything else here" | NEG |
United States | USA Today | "Longer on action than comedy. But with Chan's affable charm and stunning leaps, kicks and jumps, it's a good-natured and amusing spectacle" | POS |
United States | Chicago Reader | "This is a complete mess, making up its story logic as it goes along" | NEG |
United States | Los Angeles Times | "Chan defies time and gravity with remarkable energy, ease and resourcefulness, not to mention charm and humor." | POS |
United States | Variety | "At times plays as if it were aimed at children, but more often simply seems to be aiming blind at whatever genre cliche the five credited writers fix upon in any given scene." | NEG |
