The movie follows a former First Lady whose cantankerous and demanding behavior proves too much for her Secret Service bodyguard, Doug. When she's kidnapped, however, Doug's feelings change.

Straightforward but enjoyable comedy that sees Cage and MacLaine going at it hammer and tongs -- although not in that sense.
June 16, 2003
So-so sitcom-like star comedy.

Speaks to the universal human yearning for someone to watch over us.

We have seen it before: The movie throws together two individuals (Shirley Maclaine and Nicolas Cage) who could not have been more different and then shows us how they learn to respect each other.

A fun idea, blandly executed

Like the role itself, Cage is clearly in service here to a fabled but fading star, and he seldom slips on that second banana.
September 19, 2008
Competently executed and entertaining, chiefly due to the first-rate performances of stars Cage and MacLaine.

The film is indeed likable. But director Hugh Wilson, who co-wrote the script with Peter Torokvei, just skims the surface of potentially rich territory.
January 01, 2000
There are a few good jokes, some solid chemistry between the leads, and a little pathos, but it all doesn't add up to very much.
January 01, 2000
What counts is the comic tension between MacLaine and Cage. It's so well done, it doesn't matter how dumb things get.
May 20, 2003
Mr. Cage, once again sounding mock-suave and Elvisy, makes the most of his character's fragile cool.
June 24, 2006
Cage is on best behaviour here, but he's not an especially sympathetic performer.
