CRITICS OF "Guarding Tess"

Kalamazoo Gazette

A fun idea, blandly executed

March 19, 2004

Time Out

Cage is on best behaviour here, but he's not an especially sympathetic performer.

June 24, 2006

EmanuelLevy.Com

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.

July 12, 2011

Washington Post

What counts is the comic tension between MacLaine and Cage. It's so well done, it doesn't matter how dumb things get.

January 01, 2000

Resource

Film4

Straightforward but enjoyable comedy that sees Cage and MacLaine going at it hammer and tongs -- although not in that sense.

September 19, 2008

Resource

TV Guide

Competently executed and entertaining, chiefly due to the first-rate performances of stars Cage and MacLaine.

September 19, 2008

Resource

Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)

So-so sitcom-like star comedy.

June 16, 2003

Spirituality and Practice

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

July 18, 2003

Resource

ReelViews

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

Resource

Variety

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.

September 19, 2008

New York Times

Mr. Cage, once again sounding mock-suave and Elvisy, makes the most of his character's fragile cool.

May 20, 2003

Washington Post

Like the role itself, Cage is clearly in service here to a fabled but fading star, and he seldom slips on that second banana.
