George Miller's star-studded fantasy about three women who conjure up the man of their dreams, in the form of 'Daryl Van Horn' (Jack Nicholson), is trashy and rather absurd for the most part.
While Jack Nicholson absorbs his role well, the plot remains ridiculous and one can never believe that any of these supposedly intelligent women could fall for the obnoxious character he plays. For a comedy, it lacks humour, and the premise itself isn't even funny. Veronica Cartwright, in a ludicrous role of a very ill woman, is very good as is John Williams' lively score, but not much else is worth a look in this major disappointment.
