Rotten
Dan Aykroyd's dexterous multipersonality schtick is the only redeeming feature of this chase-heavy comedy.
Variety Staff, Variety
Overview
Mac, the two-fisted, savvy cop finds that he's being saddled with a new partner, a known burnout, to work with him on a new and difficult case. The new partner is Ellis, an amazing detective, one who puts Sherlock Holmes to shame with his lightning-fast deductions. But he keeps assuming the personalities of entire casts of Television shows. This can be a problem when people begin shooting at them.

Top critics, in their words
Rotten
Mr. Hackman and Mr. Aykroyd deserve much better. They really do. Each gives a thoroughly professional performance that is consistently undercut by the direction of Mr. Clark.
Vincent Canby, New York Times
Rotten
Hackman mostly just stands around watching Aykroyd run through his exertions with the look of a man who has something unspeakable on the sole of his shoe.
Hal Hinson, Washington Post
Rotten
A reeking stinker of a comedy.
