A really really really good film.

This is one of the first films, if not the first, where Pierce Brosnan sheds his handsome leading man persona and lets it all hang out. No vanity there. Greg Kinnear is pitch perfect, as usual.

A quirky, well acted, and surprising film. I LOVED every minute of it. I loved the characters, loved the acting, loved the script.

It didn't get any traction at the box office, for some reason. Not flashy, no car chases, no cgi, I guess.

I wish it would come on a streaming channel so I can see it again.

Pure feel good and fun,and surprisingly charming considering the immoral side lol

I thought this was excellent. The three leads (or maybe two, with Hope a supporting player) were all great. Have seen this a few times over the years and like it every time.
