Critics Consensus: An enjoyable farce that relocates Jean Renoir's Boudu Saved From Drowning to '80s California, offering fine comedic performances from Nick Nolte, Richard Dreyfuss and Bette Midler.

Reviews

Spokesman-Review (Washington)

Dan Webster

Why isn't it funnier? That it's an American remake of a French comedy seems to say it all.

You’re often at a loss to know why you’re laughing, but jokes you can’t explain may be the best kind, and Mazursky is a master of them. When he gets rolling, you’re not responding to single jokes -- it’s the whole gestalt of the movie that’s funny.

...an almost inherently appealing premise...

The result is a very foolish comedy. [Full Review in Spanish]
