This is a halfway funny movie, one that's got loads of good gags in its first half and nothing but trouble in its second.
Janet Maslin, New York Times

This isn't as snappily directed or as caustically conceived as the subsequent Risky Business, which has a similar theme, but it's arguably just as sexy and almost as funny.
