| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliPlot-wise, there's little here beyond a few insubstantial strands. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Chris HicksLike the housepest of the title, Sinbad's character here is more annoying than amusing and before the film is over you may just wish he'd go away. |
| Austin ChronicleJoey O'BryanA film that lacks solid construction from the ground up, something that can't be "fixed in the editing," I'm afraid. |

| User ReviewSeth LOne my great favorites! This movie was filmed in Pittsburgh, in my neighborhood, city, and the building and Sinbad's apt is my apartment. Love this great comedy, and seeing Pgh. Pa. on film it really shows a lot of the places i rode street, bikes , and my uincyles. It captivated Pittsburgh very well in the early 1990's. I miss riding downtown as a messenger groupie, hehehe The late great Phil Hartman is in this flick, poor guy! Love his comedy. Love this film. Sinbad was cool hanging with me at The Metropol during the filming of this movie. What an experience. |
