Patrick Swayze

Succeed[s] in recreating the simple pleasures of the old Ealing comedies, which let talented character actors shine.

Consistently stylish, dumb, and entertaining.

An unqualified populist success...works because it evinces a sincerity rarely felt in today's cinema.

Sweet but a bit dull...Overall, the picture is good-hearted and colorful, with an ending that carries a nice touch of ambiguity about the tussle of nature and nurture.
