The basic concept behind the film is very familiar, and it has certainly been done better before, but despite the predictable and obvious nature of the material, the film surprisingly manages to be pleasant enough viewing. Francis Ford Coppola and his cameramen have selected a number of interesting angles from which to shoot the film, the music soundtrack is great, and there quite a few good performances delivered by the cast, with the best bits coming from Barry Miller and Kevin J. O'Connor. Still, Nicolas Cage is an odd pick for his part. Overall, the film is not nearly as deep or original as it could be, but yet it possesses some very amusing moments. For that, it is worth checking out, as long as one does not expect a film on the same level as Coppola's best 1970s work.
