There isn't a great deal to say, maybe the big fat warning about it as a movie that has absolutely no relation to comedy. So don't you ever make the same mistake that I did, and let the names of (Peter Falk), (Jerry Lewis) or even (Nora Ephron) fool you, and lead you to a wrong picture!
It's very average, and too bad as long as we speak about (Adrian Pasdar) with his everlasting coldness, and memorably strange eyebrows. Plus (Emily Lloyd) who looked like she was copying (Madonna) with the same outfits, and awful acting too. Not to mention how (Jerry Lewis) seemed totally wasted.
Speaking about wasted, I felt bad that there were some potential and some places to make good comic ironies. However, the whole thing was just the smart hoax, and the beginning of a peaceful natural relationship between one father and his daughter. But even this as a drama wasn't that good at all, as well as the love story between Cookie and Mr. Eyebrows from hell!
I want to know why they didn't call it: (The Return of Cookie's Father), (Cookie & Father), or (Cookie & Father Meet A Freak Named Vito)?! Actually, Cookie wasn't that main character because of some reasons, on the top of them was such a script that interested in a lot of things except Cookie herself!
The charming (Peter Falk) did a great job; that made the movie sort of watchable. So as a low budget crime movie from the good old 1980s, with the lesser amount of blood and cursing, you may deem it ok, as long as you forget all about some things like Cookie; the character and the actress. So watch it and "forget about it".. And I do mean it literally!
Inflated PS: They wrote on the poster, so boldly I suppose: "A Delicious New Comedy". Sure at the time it was new. But what about Comedy and DELICIOUS??!!
