Editorial Reviews "...Travolta seems to be enjoying himself; he's loose, spontaneous..." Rolling Stone - Peter Travers (10/19/1989)
"...The ideal comeback for Travolta....He's every bit as charming and vulnerable as we've all forgotten he could be....[A] surprisingly smart, sweet-tempered movie..." Los Angeles Times - Chris Willman (10/13/1989)
