Adam Mars-Jones Independent (UK) There is a pleasing off-kilter balance to the view of his world, where the good guys have all the best lines, but the baddies have a monopoly on dress sense. Dec 6, 2018 Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle Rated: 2/5 •  Jan 1, 2000 Full Review

Wilson M Very underrated. Very nostalgic and comforting. Soundtrack was platinum too! This movie makes me feel good Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/09/24 Full Review Lomax L I enjoyed watching this movie when i was a child. It has a ton of great actors, Marla Gibbs, James Earl Jones, Don Cheadle, the list goes on! Seeing the movie again, 31 years after its release, It does seem low budget and silly. That being said, I believe it is a child's movie. To anyone who has already seen it, it's a nostalgic film. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/25/24 Full Review
